Notes:
Steve Allee is a master of lyrical melodies with a heavy rhythmic Groove. Touring with the Buddy Rich Orchestra at age 19, Steve’s passion for the piano, and jazz, were evident to audiences and all who performed with him. Steve’s big band CD, Downtown Blues was nominated for a Grammy award. His first national solo CD, The Magic Hour, released on Noteworthy Records, landed at #14 on the Gavin national radio poll. His writing credits include composing the soundtrack for the film inspired by the book by Dan Wakefield titled, "New York In The Fifties.” He presented the original music for the film at The Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

Reviews:

It's the trio's ability to shape the material with a focused sense of clarity and development that elevates Allee's already appealing writing to even greater allure. Music performed this selflessly runs the risk of being overlooked, but that would be a mistake. Mainstream it may be, but Colors is a thoroughly engaging record that's grounded enough to appeal to traditionalists while, if not exactly cutting edge, possessing enough modernity to resonate with those looking for more than mere retreads of past conventions. - JOHN KELMAN (All About Jazz)
