In recent years, TYRONE ALLEN II has become one of the most consistently in-demand sidemen on the NYC scene — as well as being known as a generational talent.
Since 2018, his name has not only appeared in publications like the New York Times, JazzTimes and WBGO, but was featured (and pictured) in the 2024 DownBeat Critics Poll for “Rising Star Jazz Group” as one third of the Sullivan Fortner Trio.
Before moving to NYC, Tyrone had already earned recognition as a sideman and intermittent leader. His credits prior to moving to NYC included Terri Lyne Carrington, Jerry Bergonzi, Genevieve Artadi, George Garzone, and the late great Ralph Peterson in his Fo’Tet. Though this final iteration of the Fo’tet’s recording remains unreleased, the spirit of Peterson’s teachings and playing lives on in Allen, as he dedicates a track on his forthcoming debut album UPWARD to Peterson.
