Geri Allen-A CHILD IS BORN (Motema 2011)

PIANIST GERI ALLEN SHARES A COLLECTION OF  

TRADITIONAL & ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON NEW CD

A CHILD IS BORN 

AVAILABLE OCTOBER 11 ON MOTÉMA MUSIC

Despite its time-honored traditions and universally familiar iconography, Christmas remains a holiday celebrated by each family and even each individual in their own personal style. Pianist/composer Geri Allen offers her own interpretation with A Child Is Born, a collection of traditional and original Christmas music that is profound and exuberant, solemn and joyous, spiritual and intimate.

Allen's third release for Motéma Music is a solo sequel to her critically acclaimed solo debut, 2010's Flying Toward the Sound. Where that release paid tribute to three of her creative inspirations - Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Cecil Taylor - A Child Is Born honors equally meaningful but perhaps even more deeply entrenched influences: family and spirituality. She refers to the album as "a joyous Christmas celebration and remembrance of a childhood where love was always unconditional."
