It is with a heavy heart that we announce our beloved and brilliant Geri Allen passed away in the afternoon of June 27. In a career that spanned more than 35 years, Geri gifted us with her impeccable playing, composing, arranging and empowering young musicians everywhere by acknowledging the past and bringing the music forward with her innovative projects and her educational acumen. _________________ "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." - Maria Robinson |

Very sad to lose Geri Allen. She was a member of my Detroit Local 5.
She will be missed on so many levels. A great artist with so much class. _________________ Schilke B5

Really sad. Loved her playing with Ornette Coleman & was just listening to her great album with David Murray and Terri Lyne Carrington... |
