Description
On this release Ben Allison pushes the bounderies once again, this time with a cinematic, rock-meets Americana sound that defies easy classification.
Allison and his band Man Size Safe blend the borders of rock and jazz with six of the bassist's new original compositions plus guitarist Steve Cardenas' "Language Of Love" and a rendition of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy".
The band mixes joyous exuberance and good-humoured irreverence with textured grooves and an occasional political jab.
