Eddie Allen's Push - Rhythm People

Facts With his signature tone-part Lee Morgan fire, part soulful explorer-New York trumpeter Eddie Allen leads PUSH through a vibrant sonic journey on The Rhythm. Joined by saxophonist Jonathan Beshay, keyboardist Misha Tsiganov, pianist Tyler Bullock II, bassist Kenny Davis and drummer EJ Strickland-and featuring trombone legend Steve Turre as special guest - Allen sets out to make music that moves. Always swinging, but unafraid to borrow from Latin grooves, reggae pulses, and urban textures, at it's heart lies the unifying force of rhythm - rhythm that transcends age, background or genre. Whether you're tapping your foot, nodding your head, or hanging on every turn of phrase, this is music that connects, resonates and swings through the heart and body. "Allen makes musical choices that immediately draw you to his sphere: his compositions are loaded with what the London Observer calls "crackle."... The command of his instrument empowers him to explore places with a direct sense that takes the listener for quite a ride." WBGO, NYC
