With over 200 recordings to his credit, powerhouse drummer and composer Carl Allen has continued to sway audiences with his soulful style for an amazing three decades!
Mr. Allen has performed alongside several legends, including Sonny Stitt, James Moody, Christian McBride, Freddie Hubbard, Jackie McLean, George Coleman, Phil Woods, Rickie Lee Jonas, the Benny Green Trio, and many more.
