Mike Allen Quartet - a Hip Cosmos (Almus Jazz 2012)
This set of original music by the Mike Allen Quartet invokes the sound of John Coltrane's classic quartet. The pacing of the tunes may offer the listener a sense of being whisked away on a journey across the farthest reaches of the cosmos, visiting strange new worlds. "Perhaps it's a Hip Cosmos, purpose or no purpose, with reason or not, love anyway it says. - by David Altic
