A superb New Orleans trumpeter, Allen reunited with fellow Fletcher Henderson Orchestra alumnus Coleman Hawkins in 1957 to cut this engaging jazz session. Showing remarkable command of bends, smears, and blues tonality, he brings to "I Cover the Waterfront," "Algiers Bounce," and nine more songs a sense of triumph and beauty. Few have played blues and jazz with the note-perfect surety of performance of clarinetist Buster Bailey. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
