Allison Cornell
Allison's new solo cd is a mixture of jazz infused pop, with almost something for everyone. She's a masterful chameleon - effectively incorporating R&B, Pop, Dance, Jazz and even Americana. This cd, in a way, proves why she's been one of the most in-demand touring musicians for acts from Cyndi Lauper to Shania Twain.
Early in 2006, Allison was invited to select and record a cover song for a cd of the music of Emil Adler and Julie Flanders of the October Project. The album is aptly named "covered".
Allison is actively collaborating with the STREB dancers in NYC. Previous off-Broadway credits include musical director and composer for the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway play �Situation Tragedy� -- which won the L.A. Dramalogue Award for �Best Musical�. Allison was also cited for the award of �Best Musical Direction� by the same publication. She has toured with the Mabou Mines production of �Animal Magnetism� as a violinist/vocalist. A production at P.S. 122 in NYC called �Trick Saddle� featured Allison�s compositions and performance as singer/yodeler/fiddler.
