Carl Allen & Rodney Whitaker Continue To Let The Good Times Roll

March 16, 2009

When long time rhythm section partners Carl Allen (drums) and Rodney Whitaker (bass) recorded their 2007 Mack Avenue debut, Get Ready, they wanted their past to inform their present. Culling themes from classic R&B, soul jazz, pop and straight ahead styles, Allen and Whitaker created music that found a wide audience who praised the duo for "taking them back home." With Work To Do (release date May 5), this estimable Detroit/Milwaukee born and bred rhythm connection - a true rhythm convention - knew they had to let the good times continue to roll.
