Carl Allen & Rodney Whitaker

Bio:

.. “You will be hard pressed to find a better drummer and bassist working together in jazz today.” - Jazz Improv



With its combination of classic R&B, soul, jazz, pop, gospel and straight ahead styles, drummer Carl Allen and bassist Rodney Whitaker’s new CD, Work To Do, can be considered a rallying cry of sorts. This – their sophomore release on Mack Avenue Records – comes to life as we all enter a new era filled with hope, pride and ambition. Certainly the universal appeal of the material and music on Work To Do reflects all of these qualities. From the bustling, industrious title track, to the contemplative melancholy of “Speak To My Heart,” to the optimistic groove of the classic “What's Going On,” this dynamic duo takes heart, soul and tempo to another joyful level. .. .. .. .. .. ..
