Marc Myers – Jazz Wax: Did you make a conscious decision to become an avant-garde pianist?
Geri Allen: I’ve always felt that having my freedom in music was important. That’s a part of my upbringing. I need to feel I can be versatile, to have the ability to move back and forth between different types of music. I’m attracted to the music of a large variety of great musicians. Then I synthesize all of it in a way that retains my freedom and particular energy as an artist.Entrevista de Marc Myers – Jazz Wax a Geri Allen: http://www.jazzwax.com/2012/01/interview-geri-allen-part-1.html
