STEVE ALLEE
Pianist Steve Allee, a distinguished musical talent from Indianapolis, is recognized for his exceptional abilities as a performer, composer, and educator. As a Yamaha Performing Artist, Steve’s musical journey has seen him share the stage with renowned artists such as Buddy Rich, Slide Hampton, James Moody, Benny Golson, Jimmy Cobb, and Peter Erskine.

Currently, Steve is an integral part of the Indianapolis Jazz Collective, where he joins forces with Rob Dixon, Nick Tucker, and Kenny Phelps to deliver captivating performances. Their collective efforts have led to memorable collaborations with jazz luminaries like Bobby Watson, Randy Brecker, Stefon Harris, Russell Malone, and Terrell Stafford.

Notably, Steve’s longstanding partnership with the Rufus Reid ‘Out Front Trio’ has been a testament to his musical prowess. The trio’s album ‘Out Front’ made waves on the ‘Jazz Week’ radio charts, securing the #1 spot during its 20-week run. Steve’s contribution to Rufus Reid’s Grammy-nominated ‘Quiet Pride’ Big Band Project further underscores his talent and versatility as a respected jazz artist.

A member of the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation’s “Indianapolis Jazz Hall of Fame,” Steve regularly performs with his big band, trio & quintet project throughout Indianapolis and around the US.
