RETRO TRILOGY
Old school meets the digital age with dreamy mod-jazz re-imaginings of iconic music from the 1970s, 80s, 90s by Paul Simon, Queen, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, The Cure, Sting, Prince, and more. RETRO Trilogy pays homage to Allison’s folk-pop-punk past in 3 decades with EPs 1977-1988-1999 rolled into 1 album.
”Translucent, inviting vocals… a memoir written for a younger self with sympathy and intelligence, Retro Trilogy makes for revelatory listening whether or not you happened to be around.” — JazzTimes
“Thoroughly arresting” —San Diego Union Tribune
“Voluptuous Brazilian blues, breathtaking lyricism, angelic and resonant, looping vocalese… She turns the beat around to her own thoughtful tempo and timbre, and reaches out for your hand.” — Carol Banks Weber, Coggie’s Ink
