Tyrone Allen II Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Tyrone Allen II Quartet

The Tyrone Allen II Quartet is a working small group led by bassist Tyrone Allen II, heard regularly on New York City bandstands including Smalls Jazz Club. Allen’s background is shaped by the demands of live accompaniment and ensemble direction, where time feel and support matter as much as solos. The quartet’s sets are built around close listening and quick adjustment in the moment, often alongside frequent collaborator guitarist Freddie Bryant. The approach favors clarity over spectacle, with arrangements that leave room for interaction and unforced swing.
