Geoff Reecer and Alison Crockett Duo

About

Guitarist Geoff Reecer, the guitarist and flight superintendent for the Airmen of Note, favors a warm, full tone for both rhythm and lead playing. He performs straight-ahead in a duo with vocalist Alison Crockett, who blends neo-soul; new-school, uptown jazz; and city blues into something that’s logically political and personally defiant. She has the laggard rhythm of an Erykah Badu, the dance instinct of a Chaka Kahn, and the maverick relationship to the jazz canon of a Lizz Wright.
