Aimée Allen - Matter of Time CD Release Party

Toru Dodo – piano

François Moutin – bass

Jacob Melchior - drums

"Truly an evolving and expansive vocal jazz artist . . .”
– Geannine Reid, JazzTimes

“A fully fledged composer, lyricist and vocalist, her ideas are filled with depth and meaning and her lyrics profoundly unique.”
– Constance Tucker, All About Vocal

The acclaimed vocalist and songwriter will be celebrating the release of her latest album Matter of Time with her quartet of first class musicians, including François Moutin on bass, Toru Dodo on piano, and Jacob Melchior on drums.

A collection of highly original soulful and swinging music about love and other transformations. Matter of Time brims with Aimée’s signature sensuality and introspection, but it also makes room for joy and swing. Aimée’s talents as a composer
and lyricist are matched by dynamic arrangements. The album takes the listener on a journey from new takes on the familiar, to fresh vistas in uncharted territory, with Aimée’s warm voice and expressive phrasing as the guide.

The dazzling players on Matter of Time are vibrant and energetic, with an interplay that keeps each musician inventing. Pianist Toru Dodo shows extraordinary range and intelligence with daring choices. Bassist François Moutin contributes his
signature virtuosity, and in ever-more inventive baselines, seems to both hold it down and elevate it at once. And Jacob Melchior proves sensitive and reactive as a keeper of time, bringing taste and moving dynamism to the drums.

It’s a collaboration and a celebration not to be missed.
