 Read MoreAfter a stint in college and the Army, Allisons first professional
gig was in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1950. He returned to college to finish up
at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where he studied English and
philosophy, a far cry from his initial path as a chemical engineering major.

Back Country SuiteAllison began his recording career with the Prestige label in
1956, shortly after he moved to New York City. He recorded an album with Al Cohn
and Bobby Brookmeyer, and then in 1957 got his own record contract. A big break
was the opportunity to play with Cohn and Zoot Sims shortly after his arrival in
New York, but he later became more well known after playing with saxophonist
Stan Getz. After leaving Prestige Records, where he recorded now classic albums
like Back Country Suite (1957), Young Man Mose (1958), and Seventh Son
(1958-1959), he moved to Columbia for two years before meeting up with Nesuhi
Ertegun of Atlantic Records. He recalled that he signed his contract with
Atlantic after about ten minutes in Nesuhis office. Allison spent a big part of
his recording career at Atlantic Records, where he became most friendly with
Ertegun. After the company saw substantial growth and Allison was no longer
working directly with him, he became discouraged and left. Allison also recorded
for Columbia (before he began his long relationship with Atlantic), and the Epic
and Prestige labels.

Your Mind Is on VacationAllisons discography is a lengthy one, and there are
gems to be found on all of his albums, many of which can be found in vinyl
shops. His output after 1957 averaged at least one album a year until 1976, when
he finished up at Atlantic with the classic Your Mind Is on Vacation. There was
a gap of six years before he recorded again, this time for Elektras Musician
subsidiary in 1982, when he recorded Middle Class White Boy. After 1987, he
recorded with Blue Note/Capitol. His debut for that label was Ever Since the
World Ended. Allison recorded some of the most creative material of his career
with the Blue Note subsidiary of Capitol Records, including My Backyard (1992)
and The Earth Wants You (1994), both produced by Ben Sidran. Also in 1994, Rhino
Records released a box set, Allison Wonderland. Allisons first new studio album
in some 12 years, the Joe Henry-produced The Way of the World, appeared from
Anti early in 2010. It would be Allisons final studio album; he died in November
2016 at the age of 89. ~ Richard Skelly
