Mike Allen Quartet
Saxophonist Mike Allen’s “burnished tone and understated approach” (The Whole Note) set the stage for wonderfully fluid feels and eloquent melodicism.
A member of Sonny Greenwich’s band in the ‘90s, Allen lived in Montreal and NYC before becoming a fixture in the Pacific Northwest scene. The former Director of Jazz Studies at Western Washington University, Mike’s a Western Canadian Music Award-winner and a first-call sideman (just ask Michael Bublé, who tapped him for 2009’s Grammy-winning Crazy Love). With jazz all-stars Bruno Hubert piano, Adam Thomas bass, and Dave Robbins drums, “Allen’s improvisations swing effortlessly and eschew stock clichés in favor of more inventive phraseology” (Cadence).
