Allison Adams Tucker released her debut album "Come With Me" and was nominated
for Best Jazz Album 2009 by the San Diego Music
Awards. The album, co-produced by jazz guitarist Peter Sprague (Dianne
Reeves, David Benoit,
Chick Corea,
Sergio Mendez), boasts arrangements by Kamau Kenyatta (Hubert Laws, Earl
Klugh, Patti Austin), and has already received radio airplay within a radius of
18 countries bringing it to the level of international acclaim. Allison Tucker and
her world jazz ensemble present a unique and eclectic mix of music with jazz influence
from around the globe, including Brazil, Latin America, gypsy jazz, big band swing,
funk, and contemporary jazz. With a voice supple, agile, and bright, she executes
each song on the tracklist with ease and imagination, creating a serene atmosphere
that leaves you smiling. The San Diego vocalist presents her work in diverse languages:
English French, Portuguese, Spanish, and even Japanese. It is a collection of pieces
from all over the world and in several languages, but they all have a common denominator:
interesting arrangements, a tight and well chosen band, and the smiling execution
of an outstanding vocalist.
