"Come With Me...a wonderful showcase for Tucker’s vocal dexterity..." -Denis Poole SmoothJazzTherapy.com
"When vocalist Allison Adams Tucker adds the words "Come with me" in her quite original rendition of all time classic standard "My Funny Valentine", all you want to do is follow her through all the beautiful tracks of her album. Very nice work indeed." -Pascal Dorban Radio ARA Luxembourg
Hitch a ride in a time machine from Rio to Tokyo, LA to Marseille – with glimpses of Carnival, ancient samurai, Hollywood clubs, and Parisian cafés, Allison's clear tones send you on a journey around the globe wrapped in a ribbon of jazz. No passport necessary.
About Allison: Multi-lingual vocalist Allison Adams Tucker has a passion for world cultures and the communication of music that binds us all. She began singing before she could speak, raised in the home of classically trained musician parents in the Southern California city of San Diego, and has performed in front of audiences since her childhood.
Her love for studying languages also began at a young age, and she has gone on to live, study, and sing in 6 languages besides her own. Her travels have taken her to over 12 countries, with a large piece of her heart and her life spent in Japan and Latin America.
This "wanderlust" is distinctive in the music she chooses today. Give a listen and come with her on a journey that evokes images of sounds, generations, and lands both distant and in our own backyard.
