Biography | The Allison Neale Quartet reflects Allison's strong West Coast influences and features top jazz musicians.
Seattle born altoist and flautist Allison Neale is largely unique on the British Jazz scene, renowned for her cool, melodic alto sound reminiscent of the West Coast musicians working in California during the 1950s. As a true specialist and advocate of the style, her strong personal voice and authentic approach has awakened a fresh new interest in this lesser known aspect of the American Jazz idiom in recent years. |
