Back Country Suite / Local Color

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums (plus bonus tracks) from the Jazz pianist on one CD: Back Country Suite and Local Color (both released in 1957). Performed in a trio format, both LP's presented the title Suites composed by Allison on their A Side, while their B sides were a combination of originals and old standards. Allison didn't go unnoticed in his time, and both of these initial LPs were highly praised in Down Beat magazine. Poll Winners. 2010.
