Jazz album review: Harry Allen
JAZZ HARRY ALLEN * * * * * New York State Of Mind Challenge Records CR73293, £13.99
Never having heard American tenor saxophonist Harry Allen playing with Italian pianist Rossano Sportiello before, I am now desperate to hear them live. In this magnificent CD of New York-themed tunes they bounce off each other brilliantly on such up-tempo numbers as Singin' In The Rain's Broadway Melody. On the ballads, Allen's breathy and slightly melancholy sax is complemented by Sportiello's dreamy, eloquent piano.
