Биография

World jazz with urbane cool. Growing up in SoCal on the border with Mexico, Allison’s love for languages and world cultures started early. This wanderlust has inspired the music she sings today. Allison's debut album @ComeWithMe (2008) received international acclaim and was nominated for Best Jazz Album 2009 by the San Diego Music Awards. Allison's sophomore album @AprilinParis (2014) celebrating songs of springtime from around the world, was recorded in Paris on UNESCO's 1st Annual International Jazz Day at the end of a Europe tour with international musicians from five countries. Allison's third album @WANDERlust (2016) was recorded in New York City and features a stunning all-star band. The songs are musical postcards from distant points of interest, from Rio to Rome, Paris to Kyoto, and destinations outside of time and space. Allison returned to NYC in 2019 to revisit her pop-punk past with the recording of her fourth album @RETROTrilogy - jazz re-imaginings of Gen X-Y-Z: 3 decades of music from the 1970s, 80s, 90s, by David Bowie, Queen, The Cure, Sting and more, 18 songs rolled out in 3 EPs across streaming platforms: 1977, 1988, 1999, and then released as one CD (2023). Allison's voice can be heard on TV commercials and on the video game "The Saboteur" soundtrack singing French jazz in the company of Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Madeleine Peyroux, & others.
