About Mark Allred

Jazz connoisseur Mark Allred has followed the careers of jazz
musicians since 1972 and promoted musicians in London in the
mid-80's. His personal collection focuses on bop, modal jazz,
and fusion. His allure to jazz does not end with mainstream
releases; he also delves into artist discography, unusual
collaborations, rare live recordings, and sessions in their purist
recorded sequence.
