EXCLUSIVE KENNEDY CENTER ENGAGEMENT!

The New York Times hails Geri Allen as "a jazz pianist who dares to follow an unmarked road." And the Los Angeles Times has applauded her "devotion to the swinging roots of jazz." For her first headline engagement in the Terrace Theater, the pianist, composer, and Howard University graduate is joined by two living legends for exclusive Kennedy Center performances. 

Along with D.C. native drummer Jimmy Cobb and NEA Jazz Master and Grammy-winning bassist Ron Carter, Geri Allen performs music from their new CD, Timeless Portraits and Dreams. Don't miss this extremely rare and exciting concert event - it's your only chance to see these three spectacular talents performing live together! Also appearing is the Afro Blue Vocal Ensemble of Howard University, which will back the trio on select numbers from the recording.
