Since first moving to New York from Detroit, she performed as a member of Lake's ensembles throughout the '80s. Cyrille played on Allen's 1984 debut recording as leader "The Printmakers". Workman featured Allen on his 1995 recording "Cerebral Caverns". Reception . The "Down Beat" review by Peter Margasak states "Allen has worked with all three members, so she fits right in on a typically sharp, probing program that dissolves lines between post-bop and free jazz." The All About Jazz review by Chris May notes that "Allen's love of tunes and chord progressions, and her flowing rhapsodism, make her an imaginative choice of partner for Trio 3 and the meeting works marvelously."
