Daily News Headlines (source Downbeat)

In December, Telarc International executives announced the signing of Geri Allen and a subsequent untitled album to be released in August 2004.
The award-winning pianist will record original compositions for the new album in January 2004 at New York’s Avatar Studios. Bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette will make up the rhythm section. Elaine Martone will co-produce the session with Allen.
Bob Woods, president of Telarc, considers the label’s decision a no-brainer. “Geri Allen’s voice in the jazz community remains strong and clear,” he said.
Allen returned the sentiment.
“Telarc represents a spectacular music legacy,” she said. “It’s a thrill and honor for me.”
