New York-based jazz composer and bassist Ben Allison writes highly-melodic, evocative jazz tunes that draw from rock, pop, R&B and 1960s instrumentals, but still stay true to jazz. On Little Things Run the World, the "Downbeat" magazine favorite and his newest group, Man Size Safe, team with guest saxophonist Michael Blake. The quintet blows through eight numbers that run the gamut from Latin-tinged excursions ("Respiration") to rock-styled workouts ("Blowback") to multi-part, multi-genre extravaganzas ("Four Folk Songs").
