San Diego, CA— Described by The Examiner as “lustrous in any language, a vocalist who clarifies every note within a hair’s breath” and given 4 stars by DownBeat Magazine, international recording artist and multi-lingual jazz singer Allison Adams Tucker embarks on her fourth album “RETRO Trilogy” as she pays homage to music and memories of Generation X. Crowdfunding support to make this album a reality launched on Kickstarter for a 33 day campaign ending May 3, 2019.

With a style described by the San Diego Reader as, “world jazz with urbane cool”, Allison Adams Tucker has performed and recorded jazz-inspired music in 6 languages crossing genres and cultural borders for audiences throughout the US, Europe, Japan for the last 12 years. Her voice can be heard on national commercials, as well as in movie and video game soundtracks.

Allison revisits her musical roots with a 3–part album Trilogy and she explores the music connected to those memories that define a generation – Generation X. Think ‘old school meets the digital age’, with modern jazz re–imaginings from 3 decades of music: the 1970s, 1980s & 1990s.

Music by artists such as Paul Simon, David Bowie, Queen, Annie Lennox, Prince, Peter Gabriel, Cyndi Lauper, Sting, Beck, The Cure, and more is brought back to life with stunning arrangements. Allison recorded these songs behind the same vintage microphone at historic Sear Sound Studio as several of the artists she is covering.

RETRO Trilogy was recorded in New York City under award-winning producer Matt Pierson (Warner Brothers, Sony Music) with a some of New York’s finest jazz musicians, including Kevin Hays on piano and fender rhodes, Kenny Wollesen on drums and vibraphone, Tony Scherr on bass, Yotam Silberstein and Peter Sprague on guitars, and Bashiri Johnson on percussion. Allison includes one original composition recorded using only layers of her own voice and guitar.

The album will be rolled out on streaming platforms one decade at a time in 3 separate EPs (1970s, 1980s, 1990s), followed by its release as a complete CD.

As an independent artist, Allison has self-funded the production of this album, and now is relying on pre-orders and crowdfunding support to make the release of RETRO Trilogy possible. Supporters can pre-order the physical and digital album, purchase RETRO t-shirts and other merch, include their name in the CD liner credits, RSVP to attend the RETRO Live Listening Party on May 5 in Del Mar, CA or any of the release tour concerts worldwide, as well as a variety of other reward offerings. This Kickstarter campaign must reach its goal by May 3, 2019.
