Ben Allison - Think Free (Remastered) (2009/2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Ben and his group Think Free focus on melody, groove and texture in equal measures, engaging in the kind of group interplay that has become a hallmark of Ben's style. Each of their first three albums, Cowboy Justice, Little Things Run the World, & Think Free topped the jazz radio charts in the US (often remaining in the top ten for several months), and their latest, Layers of the City, has been met with overwhelming critical acclaim. The trumpet chair has changed over the years from Ron Horton, to Shane Endsley, to Jeremy Pelt, and now Ingrid Jensen. Each has their own style and approach to the band, but what has remained constant is Ben's creative use of orchestration to create a sound that's cinematic in scope, while leaving plenty of room for spontaneous improvisation.Think Free has performed at countless festivals, clubs, theaters and concert halls throughout North & South America and the EU, including The North Sea Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall, Central Park SummerStage, Birdland, The Jazz Standard, Dizzy's Club/JALC, The Freight, Newport Jazz Festival, and countless others.
