Carl Allen/Rodney Whitaker Project Plays Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola 11/9-14

CARL ALLEN/RODNEY WHITAKER PROJECT to perform music from their MACK AVENUE CD WORK TO DO, at DIZZY'S CLUB COCA-COLA
November 9-14

"Work to Do features reworked pop-classics and originals that range from achingly
beautiful tunes to those possessing an energized post-bop feel." - All About Jazz

"On Work To Do, rhythm section par excellence Carl Allen and Rodney Whitaker tap into their roots and offer an engaging and user-friendly repertoire that includes standards, pop classics, soul music, gospel influences, and post-bop originals...crafting music that keeps listeners tapping their toes, snapping their fingers and generally having a good time." - Audiophile Audition

They've created a 21st century version of soul-jazz." - Detroit Free Press

When longtime rhythm section partners Carl Allen (drums) and Rodney Whitaker (bass) recorded their 2007 Mack Avenue debut, Get Ready, they wanted their past to inform their present. Culling themes from classic R&B, soul jazz, pop and straight ahead styles, Allen and Whitaker created music that found a wide audience who praised the duo for "taking them back home." With their new release Work To Do, this estimable Detroit/Milwaukee born and bred rhythm connection - a true rhythm convention - knew they had to let the good times continue to roll.

The Carl Allen/Rodney Whitaker Project--featuring Eric Reed (piano), Rodney Jones (guitar), Tim Green (alto saxophone)--are set to perform at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Tuesday, November 9 through Sunday, November 14. Set times are 7:30pm & 9:30pm, plus 11:30pm set on Friday and Saturday.
