5.0 out of 5 stars A young jazz musician of substance
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016

J.D. Allen is the real deal. His tenor sax tone is his own while being rooted in the great tradition, and his musical ideas come from life, hard listening, and hard work, not practice book exercises. His trio of bassist Gregg August and drummer Rudy Royston means business. They have something to express, and it is not played to impress other musicians and hipsters, though it probably will. On this album, Allen reclaims the term "Americana" for ancestral jazz and blues tunes. The results are deep and magical. Do NOT sleep on J.D. Allen.

This artist has real depth. Another reviewer likened him to some of the bebop greats. I can't say he is another Monk or Coltrane, but his material has deep originality. A true artist for today. I was impressed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, But I Had Higher Expectations
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017

JD Allen opens his liner notes with a profuse apology for creating yet another album of blues-derived jazz. True, it's a field that's well mined, but since I happen to like bluesy jazz, I bought it. It's not possible, is it, to truly exhaust a particular field of jazz music?
Well... maybe Allen was just being honest.
The album does benefit from tasty extra texture added by the bass and drums, and JD Allen is in the front ranks of young saxophonists so he's going to do right by the material, whatever it is.
But maybe I do have enough blues based jazz in my collection for the time being.
I prefer the other album by him that I have in my collection, "The Matador and the Bull," which seems fresher and more creative.
So, 3-1/2 stars with another 1/2 star for "Honesty in Liner Notes."

5.0 out of 5 stars Den Jazz ins richtige Leben zurück gebracht
Reviewed in Germany on April 17, 2017

Viele Musiker des zeitgenössischen Jazz haben, wie sollte es auch anders sein, ein andere Biographie als noch die Generation vor ihnen. Diese spielte sich durch die Kaschemmen der Provinz bis nach New York hoch und auf diesem Weg lernten sie noch einmal aus dem FF alle Schattierungen von Rassismus und Diskriminierung kennen. Diese Biographien hatten Einfluss auf ihr musikalisches Schaffen. Heutige Jazzer, vor allem die erfolgreichen, sind zumeist Repräsentanten des Mittelstandes, die nicht selten ihr Handwerk auf Konservatorien gelernt haben. Ihr Können ist famos, ihre Ideen brillant, ihre Technik atemberaubend. Und dennoch werden die harten, bluesigen, klagenden Töne, die den Jazz als den Ausdruck der Ungerechtigkeit, der Boshaftigkeit, aber auch der Schönheit dieser Welt groß gemacht haben, von vielen bitter vermisst.

JD Allen, seinerseits Tenorsaxophonist und mit 44 Jahren noch relativ jung, kann mit diesen Tönen aufwarten. Mit seinem Album Americana. Musings On Jazz And Blues gibt er dem Jazz die Stimme zurück, die ihn groß gemacht hat. Allen, der erst 1999 mit seinem Debüt Album aufwartete, hat mit anderen Werken wie The Matador und Graffiti sehr überzeugend bewiesen, wie sehr er die Traditionen des avantgardistischen Jazz kennt und beherrscht. Mit Americana holt er jedoch den Ton zurück, der für das Narrativ über die Reise von den Baumwollfeldern des Südens in die Industriemetropolen des Nordens steht.

Tell The Truth, Shame The Devil, mit diesem Intro beginnt Allen seine Hommage an die Geschichte Amerikas. Der Ton seines Saxophons erinnert bezeichnender Weise an den alten Dewey Redman, Joshua Redmens Vater, oder den von Teddy Edwards. Er ist elegisch und frivol zugleich und er schert sich nicht um technische Brillanz. Another Man Done Gone, Cotton, Sugar Free, Americana, Lightning, die Titel bezeichnen das, was die Musik suggeriert. JD Allens Trio mit Gregg August am Bass und Rudy Royston am Schlagzeug unternehmen eine rasante Tour durch die jüngste Geschichte der USA wie der des sie begleitenden Jazz. Sind die ersten beiden Stücke sehr bluesig und bitter, so ist bereits bei Sugar Free der Bebop der Metropolen in vollem Gange, mit einer Verve und Authentizität, wie sie nur von dessen Pionieren erreicht wurde. Mit dem Titelsong Americana greift Allen eine Phrase, die bereits in den vorigen Stücken vorkam, wieder auf und macht sie zu einer eigenen Erzählung. Das ist die vertonte Version der historischen Dialektik.

Vielleicht ist es kein Zufall. Vielleicht macht es großen Sinn, dass ein Musiker, der in dem längst untergegangenen Detroit aufgewachsen ist, die Reise nach New York unternommen hat, um der Jazzwelt noch einmal in Erinnerung zu rufen, woher der Jazz eigentlich kommt. In einer Zeit, in der auch in den USA nichts mehr so ist, wie es einmal war. Americana ist ein grandioses Album, das erahnen lässt, wie der Jazz aus den Konzertsälen wieder ins richtige Leben kommt. "If You 're Lonesome, Then You 're Not Alone."

JD Allen en este su octavo disco con su trio, Gregg August y Rody Royston, ha decidido conducirnos por las raices del jazz que sin duda alguna es el blues. Maravilloso y extremadamente austero es puro sentimiento. Profundo y asequible a cualquier oido. Es la pureza hecha sonido. Con Coltrane en el corazon y en su petreo sonido, Allen logra su mejor disco. Es puro jazz embuido del blues mas autentico. Una joya
