Dead As O Ren

The upbeat drum patterns and melodies of "late bloomer 04" give underground femme, with some sprinkles of toxic masculinity, by way of the lyrics, highlighting one paradox of the US. 

70-75 BPM (get your body moving type).

Thank you for your consideration,

Thundercat - $200 TB prod.Flying Lotus ft. Austin Peralta

The late pianist Geri Allen, recorded on November 19th, 1988, at Koncepts Cultural Gallery in Oakland. She performed solo, in what was her West Coast debut performance. Special thanks to Art Sato for making this recording possible. This performance was recently digitally transferred and mastered from the analog recording. It was recorded for KPFA in Berkeley, in our remote van on reel to reel tape. Pianist Ethan Iverson, spoke of Geri on her 60th birthday, in his blog, shortly before her passing:

"Allen has had a long career of triumphs and remains one of the key musicians in jazz, but she may not always get enough credit for the degree of influential innovation on display from about 1984 to 1989.

Kenny Kirkland took the virtuosic McCoy Tyner/Herbie Hancock/Chick Corea axis to its logical endpoint. Around the time of Kirkland’s greatest prominence, Geri Allen broke something open by offering a radically different approach, bringing back the surrealism of Thelonious Monk and Eric Dolphy.

Allen’s solution would go on to be vastly influential. There were other avatars from the late 80s and early 90s, perhaps most notably Marcus Roberts and Brad Mehldau. Many of the celebrated younger pianists of the current moment — a recent poll has names like Jason Moran, Vijay Iyer, Craig Taborn, David Virelles, Kris Davis, Matt Mitchell, Aruán Ortiz — don’t play like Kirkland, Roberts, or Mehldau. They play like Allen."
