Ovation Guest Artist Concert ovation artist

Carl Allen
Friday, March 8, 2013 | 7:30 pm
Carl Allen, swing artist and drummer, has been teaching music and touring the nation since 1982. Working with artists such as the Benny Green Trio, George Coleman, Freddie Hubbard and Christian McBride, Allen says, "My ultimate goal is to get to a level like Art Blakey, Art Taylor, Elvin Jones and Billy Higgins and these cats who, every time they sit down behind a set of drums it's swinging. The power of swing is something else and once I get to that level everything else falls into place."
