Genre: Jazz
FCCs: none
Review: Saxophonist Allen leads a deft and experienced trio. In a program that encompasses five of his original compositions, a pair of standards and four lesser-known but no less engaging themes, Allen delivers the sort of unblemished performance that leaves no cause for censure.
