Ralph Allin is a revelation, an artist with the rare ability to combine jaw dropping virtuosity with universal musical appeal. His programme is both entertaining, well crafted, and uniquely diverse in content, where fiery gypsy music blends perfectly with infectious latin rhythm, and 'clasical' cadenzas cresendo effortlessly into Swing, and this is swing with a capital 'S' - all providing the backdrop for Allin's energetic and innovative arrangements of the great jazz standards and original compositions. A welcome return indeed!
