The Rob Dixon/Steve Allee Quintet: Standards Deluxe

Playing tenor and soprano sax, Rob Dixon  teams up with Steve Allee/p, Nick Tucker/b, Amanda King/voc, Greg Artry-Kenny  Phelps/dr and Derrick Gardner/tp for a collection of originals and jazz standards. Amanda King brigs rich vocals to a cozy read of “The Very Thought Of You” and swoons through “S way”. She delivers a sultry read on a vocal take of “Caravan” while Gardner and Dixon bop through an instrumental take. Dixon is bold on his own “Flat Tire Blues” and hip with Gardner on a noire “Lucky Number 7”. Vintage tones.
