What People Are Saying
“Through no fault of his own, Allen Lowe has become jazz’s quintessential outsider artist.”
-Francis Davis
“Allen Lowe is an American master. I was absolutely astonished by the new CD. The CD blew me away — the compositional transitions, the liner notes — Allen Lowe is a great writer. It’s hillbilly music but it’s trans-national. Allen Lowe is one of the few musicians doing anything new today. He is the tradition. I’m a big fan of Allen Lowe and I think as a musician and a scholar he is very important and I think he is deeply misunderstood because he doesn’t hate himself.”
- Anthony Braxton
“Angular, sly and funky, Lowe’s CD is a bona fide wake up call from the avant garde.”
– Jonathan Lethem
“Lowe’s CD has become my go-to album when I can’t decide if I am in the mood for the Art Ensemble, the Minutemen or Blind Willie Johnson.”
– Internet Post
“Allen Lowe has made a crucial contribution to American culture, and all those who want to see our musical history whole are in his debt”.
- Greil Marcus
