Henry 'Red' Allen 1929-1936 - Jazz Classics In Digital Stereo

 


Henry James "Red" Allen Jr. (January 7, 1908 – April 17, 1967) was an American jazz trumpeter and vocalist, born in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of the bandleader Henry Allen Sr.

Allen's trumpet style has been described by Joachim-Ernst Berendt and others as the first to fully incorporate the innovations of Louis Armstrong, and to develop an emphasis on phrasing. Allen's recordings received much favorable attention. His versatility is shown by his winning of DownBeat awards in both the traditional jazz and the modern jazz categories.
