Further Details Title: The Printmakers Condition: New Format: Vinyl Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS The ground breaking debut of pianist Geri Allen, by now a collector´s item, rereleased from the orignal analog tapes for its 40th anniversary on 180 gram Black Vinyl. Geri Allen (1957-2017) has been the most influential pianist of her generation. In 1984 her debut recording "The Printmakers" on Minor Music was internationally received with great praise, as a new and highly individual approach to the instrument. DownBeat: 4 1/2 stars in 1984. The NYT recently selected this album for the series: 5 Minutes That Will Make You Love Jazz Piano. Reviewing a performance by Ms. Allen's trio in 2011, Nate Chinen wrote in The New York Times: "Her brand of pianism, assertive and soulful, has long suggested a golden mean of major postwar styles. She just as easily deploys the slipstream whimsy of Herbie Hancock, the earthy sweep of McCoy Tyner and the swarming agitation of Cecil Taylor." Track Listing: A Celebration of all life Eric Running as fast as you can...TGTH M´s Heart Printmakers Andrew When Kabuya Dances D and V Geri Allen has always been a shining example of creativity, openness, courage, and selflessness. I have always marveled at her talent as an innovator. She was always a bit shy around me and cited me as a musical influence. However, she truly has had a great influence on my style and approach to music thanks to her innate genius. Her passing into eternity is a great loss to our family of musical creators but her influence will continue to grow, and I believe, she will soon return, stronger than ever, and carry on her work that in this lifetime has already been a great contribution to humankind.
