Grand River Crossings

Grand River Crossings (subtitled Motown & Motor City Inspirations) is an album of songs associated with or inspired by Detroit and Motown by pianist Geri Allen recorded in 2012 and released on the Motéma label in 2013.

Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "Of her 19 offerings, Grand River Crossings is certainly her most personal. It's also among her very best". The Guardian review by John Fordham awarded the album 3 stars, noting, "There's a tentativeness to some of this music, but Allen's mix of intelligence, spontaneity and precision nonetheless put her in a very special league". Cormac Larkin of The Irish Times commented "...the real interest on Grand River Crossings is in hearing player of the calibre and creativity of Allen jamming quietly on some of the tunes which formed her musical mind."
