| Ki Allen - LADY JAZZ |
"Ki Allen simmers with a combination of elegance, clarity, and richness, filled with a presentation of powerful originality." -Carlo Wolff, The Plain Dealer Tri-C Jazz Fest |
"Creque's arrangements of Caravan, Night and Day and What Is This Thing Called Love? Soared, buoyed by Allen's stunning plush contralto. -Carlo Wolff, The Plain Dealer Cleveland Jazz Orchestra |
"Melisma--phrasing that's authoritative even as it is behind the beat, and a range that spans the nether reaches of alto to the top of soprano make Allen special. And if her delivery is emotional, her styling is flexible, even athletic." -Carlo Wolff, Midwest Jazz |
"Allen lifted that Vernon Duke classic to the skies, laying her elastic voice over Baker's muted trombone..." -Carlo Wolff, The Plain Dealer The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra |
"Allen is a regular, valuable contributor to the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. She stood out on a velvety, roundly sensual Lover Man..." -Carlo Wolff , The Plain Dealer Cleveland Jazz Orchestra |
"Largely self-taught, Ki Allen is a fearless improviser. Listen to her renditions of All About Ronnie, Someone To Watch Over Me, and Make Someone Happy, and you'll be transported to the forties and fifties when style and idiosyncrasy joined in swinging emotional twine." -Carlo Wolff, Northern Ohio Live |
