What tomorrow brings

"On What Tomorrow Brings, Allgood presents the infrequently performed 1960 Dinah Washington ballad, "This Bitter Earth", giving the song a free and breezy interpretation properly framed by her guitar trio of guitarist Michael Allemana, bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer George Fludas. This particular format provides the singer with an improvisatory/support index well suited for her intentions. She extrapolates this approach to the remainder of this project. Performance highlights include a punchy and fun "Mad About The Boy," and a breakneck scat break on "Time Around" that could cause whiplash, masterful and solidly swinging. Allgood continues to grow and evolve in a measured and thoughtful manner, taking well-calculated chances when the return is not necessarily guaranteed, but always pays off. It is satisfying to hear this talent bloom and take command, Allgood assuming her proper place as one of the finest jazz vocalists today".

"Chicago-based Alyssa Allgood's third album casts Allgood's dry, expressive voice in a svelte chamber setting ... While Allgood is in her twenties, she sings with a depth beyond her years, particularly on her covers of Abbey Lincoln's "Should've Been" and Dinah Washington's signature "This Bitter Earth"".
