 group Ten Wheel Drive in 1971, Watrous led his own big band (the Manhatta
 n Wildlife Refuge) during 1973-1977, recording two superb albums for Colu
 mbia. After moving to Los Angeles in the late '70s, Watrous continued wor
 king in the studios, appearing at jazz parties, playing in local clubs, a
 nd leading an occasional big band. He has recorded as a leader for Columb
 ia, Famous Door, Soundwings, GNP Crescendo, and with his late-'90s big ba
 nd for Double-Time. — Scott Yanow\n\nThis Bill Watrous Residency is spo

 est strength is her sheer musicality and the way in which she both frames
  and interprets her song. (Los Angeles Times)  Utterly distinctive and ev
 en innovative…a masterpiece. It’s revelatory and sounds effortless. (
 Billboard Magazine) Allen's voice is both crystalline and soulful; waxing
  romantic and poetic ... this is four-hundred-dollar-a-bottle jazz -- no 
 cheap imitation. (Rolling Stone) Musically sophisticated and artistically
  daring… (Chicago Tribune)\n\nA respected jazz educator, Allen teaches 
 at Doane College (Crete, NE) and has taught at Ball State University (IN)
