Alison Shearer is a saxophonist with tremendous style, lyricism and intuition whose talents have brought her around the world. Alison has appeared with Kurt Elling, Nate Smith, Charlie Hunter, Big Daddy Kane, Pharoahe Monch, Ana Egge, and is a member of Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East and Red Baraat, whom NPR calls “the best party band in years.” She has toured around the world and performed at some greatest stages and festivals, including Carnegie Hall, The Blue Note, SFJazz, Monterey Jazz Festival among many others.
All these influences came to bear on Alison’s debut solo album, ‘View From Above,’ which was released to fanfare in 2022. The album, for which Alison wrote all ten tracks, features ASQ with a bevy of collaborators. Its soaring blend of jazz, funk, and belies the tragedy that birthed its ecstatic expression of individuality: the loss of her father John Shearer, pioneering civil rights-era photojournalist, to cancer in 2019.
‘View From Above’ was a JazzTimes Editor’s Choice, and one of NPR’s Jazz Night in America’s Top Ten Albums of
2022.
With Shearer’s upcoming album “In The Garden” she shines light on her quartet. Her writing exhibits a pop sensibility within a complex rhythmic thicket. More simply put, the whole album is a collection of odd meter earworms. In The Garden drops 10/10/25!
