KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 19, 2024 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 will host Carl Allen<\/a>, one of the preeminent jazz drummers of the past three decades, for a three-day residency, including a public concert with 溏心vlog免费B站 jazz faculty on Friday, March 22, at 8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center Concert Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s probably one of the greatest living jazz drummers today,\u201d said Emmett Goods, head of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s jazz program and organizer of Allen\u2019s visit. \u201cFrom his early influences in gospel, R&B and funk to his immersion in jazz, Allen\u2019s musical journey has been nothing short of remarkable. His visit will be a great learning opportunity for our students and community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Milwaukee and now based in New York, Allen is a drummer, sideman, bandleader, entrepreneur, producer and educator. With more than 200 recordings to his credit, he has played alongside some of the greatest names in jazz\u2014Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Jackie McLean, Sonny Stitt, Christian McBride, Branford Marsalis, Kenny Garret, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the stage, Allen has served as musical director for Hubbard\u2019s band for eight years \u2013 joining the group the year before he graduated college. He was also a co-founder of Big Apple Productions, and created Nella Productions, which produces projects and developed an education program, The New York Jazz Symposium<\/a>, that runs workshops around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At age 63, Allen, who holds an honorary doctorate from Snow College, maintains an exhaustive schedule of recording, touring and teaching. He is bandleader for The Carl Allen Quartet and The Art of Elvin, and a sideman for Christian McBride & Inside Straight, and Benny Golson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goods, who meets regularly with Allen at the Jazz Education Network annual conference, arranged his visit, which is being sponsored by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Office of the Provost, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Carl since I was about 15. He played in a group with my brother, the Sterling Place All Stars. And even before that, he was part of a group called The Jazz Futures. Most of the musicians my age were just enamored of them,\u201d said Goods. \u201cHe\u2019s always been considered to be one of the elites. Back then, they were calling them the young lions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his visit, Allen will take part in numerous events. He will work with musicians in the Jazz Big Band, which is directed by Goods, on Thursday, March 21, and will conduct a masterclass and workshop with drum students on Friday, March 22. On Friday at 1 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center Concert Hall, he will discuss his long career and answer questions\u2014in a free event open to the 溏心vlog免费B站 community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the first time we\u2019ve had a distinguished visiting artist for this long,\u201d said Goods. \u201cNormally, we would only get a day. But we\u2019re going to have events each day for jazz students, the 溏心vlog免费B站 community and the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday night, Allen will perform a set of original and familiar jazz tunes with 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty\u2014Joseph Parillo on piano, Jay Azzolina on guitar, Dave Zinno on bass, John McKenna on tenor saxophone, Atla DeChamplain on vocals, and Goods on trombone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he\u2019s known Allen for a long time, Goods will be performing on stage with him for the first time. What\u2019s it like to play alongside a drummer of that caliber?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you have someone like that behind you, it\u2019s an extra sense of security,\u201d said Goods. \u201cYou have a master of rhythm behind you. As a frontline person, it allows you the freedom to explore and create something that you normally wouldn\u2019t have because you were thinking.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets for Friday night\u2019s concert<\/a> in Fine Arts Center, 105 Upper College Road, Kingston, are $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
