Harry Allen Quartet French Lullaby (2 LP)

Venus Masterpiece Collection Limited Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP!
Harry Allen has recorded over 70 albums as a leader and many more as a sideman. Three of Harry's albums have won Gold Disc Awards from Japan's Swing Journal Magazine, and his album Tenors Anyone? won both the Gold Disc Award and the New Star Award. His recordings have made the top ten list for favorite new releases in Swing Journal Magazine's reader's poll and Jazz Journal International's critic's poll for 1997, and Eu Nao Quero Dancar (I Won't Dance), the third Gold Disc Award winner, was voted second for album of the year for 1998 by Swing Journal Magazine's reader's poll. The Harry Allen - Joe Cohn Quartet won the New York Nightlife Award for Outstanding Jazz Combo Performance of 2006 and was nominated for Best Jazz Combo by the Jazz Journalists Association for the same year. Harry also won the 2010 New York Nightlife Award for Best Jazz Solo.
Tenor saxophonist Harry Allen recorded an impressive number of albums – over 70 as a leader, many more as an accompanist. In Japan, where Venus Records is based, as well as in the USA, he has received several awards from renowned jazz media for his achievements.
He is accompanied on "French Lullaby" by Jacob Fischer on guitar, Hans Backenroth on bass and Kristian Leth on drums.
Venus LPs are pressed only once. After the first edition has been sold, the titles will be removed from the catalogue. Collectors should therefore consider buying in good time.
"Had he been born 40 years earlier (rather than in 1966), he would have been one of the major stars of Jazz at the Philharmonic, giving Flip Phillips and Illinois Jacquet some sleepless nights." – Will Friedwald, The New York Sun
