Multi-lingual jazz vocalist, composer and recording artist Allison Adams Tucker celebrates her latest album "RETRO Trilogy" featuring Danny Green piano/keys, Justin Grinnell bass, Duncan Moore drums, and Peter Sprague guitars. Recorded in New York City with a heavy-hitter band and nominated for Best Jazz Album 2024 by San Diego Music Awards, "RETRO Trilogy" delivers re-imaginings of iconic music from the 1970s, 80s, 90s by Paul Simon, David Bowie, Queen, The Cure, Sting, Annie Lennox, Prince and more in the language of jazz. Given 4 stars by DownBeat and described by The Examiner as “lustrous in any language – a vocalist who clarifies every note within a hair’s breath”, Allison creates a unique travel memoir in music with jazz driven songs that span countries and genres in 6 languages Born in San Diego to classically trained musical parents, Allison started singing before she could speak and began performing in front of audiences at age 5. Growing up on the border with Mexico, Allison was exposed to intermingling cultures, and her love for languages and world cultures also began at an early age. Allison’s vocal palette has been colored by her experience in a variety of musical genres throughout her life, from classical to punk rock and even a cappella Elizabethan madrigals, and in 2005 she found her home in jazz. In addition to Allison’s discography of 4 albums and 3 EPs recorded in New York, Paris, and San Diego, Allison’s voice can be heard on various other album collaborations, TV commercials, and on the video game “The Saboteur” soundtrack singing French jazz in the company of Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Madeleine Peyroux, & others. She has toured extensively including performances at the Blue Note New York, Ronnie Scott’s London, Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Los Angeles, San Jose Jazz Fest, Tula’s Seattle, East Hawaii Jazz & Blues Fest, Hawaii Public Radio Honolulu, Lucca Jazz Donna Festival Tuscany, Music Inn Rome, Le Baiser Salé Paris, Takatsuki Jazz Street Festival Osaka, and Body & Soul Tokyo, among others Allison Adams Tucker on Facebook / Instagram
