Saxophonist Brandon Allen leads a powerhouse new project celebrating the music of Art Blakey and the legendary Jazz Messengers. Featuring the outstanding Mark Kavuma on trumpet, the band delivers the fiery swing, hard-driving grooves and soulful energy that defined the Messengers sound – a bold, high-octane tribute to hard bop at its finest.!

This project captures the raw drive and soulful sophistication of classics like Moanin’, A Night in Tunisia, and Blues March. With Allen at the helm, the music is both reverent and refreshingly alive – a celebration of tradition delivered with urgency, passion, and a modern edge.
