September 21, 2024Absolutely perfect. The trio was so talented. Everyone loved them and lots of compliments coming from a room that included jazz musicians! They even learned a special jazz song that was important to the family just for this event, We looked at several groups before we booked. Duane was a pleasure to work with and we could not have made a better choice.

November 20, 2019Mr. Allen is a true innovator. His chops and licks squeeze all the emotion he has out of his soul. His renditions of El Gaucho and Ask Me Now are just mind blowing. Mr. Allen is a true legend.

November 18, 2019Mr. Allen, I’ve seen and heard you play many times but this time special. your freeform jazz gave me a near out of body experience. Your complex meld to chords have me a view of heaven. Duane Allen your beautiful solos are that of fantasy to any average guitarist. I am truly glad I could see you play and I home to see you play more in the future.

November 18, 2019Duane Allen. By far one of the best jazz guitarists in the area, if not in the state. It has been an honor to closely work with him and find out what he is all about. His versions of the following songs (blue monk, autumn leaves, so what, blue bossa, and all blues.) have all left me dumbstruck. Thank you Duane for your contributions. And I look forward to our partnership.
