Nacida el 12 de junio de 1957 en Pontiac, Michigan, Geri Allen fue pianista de jazz, compositora y educadora. Creció en Detroit y empezó a tocar el piano a los 7 años. Al principio de su adolescencia, se centró en el piano de jazz. Estudió jazz en la Universidad Howard de Washington, D.C., donde se graduó en 1979. Tras pasar un tiempo en Nueva York estudiando con el pianista Kenny Barron, completó su máster en la Universidad de Pittsburgh en 1982. De vuelta a Nueva York, se unió al colectivo M-Base, formado por jóvenes músicos afroamericanos que se expresaban de formas nuevas. Formó un trío y publicó su primer álbum, The Printmakers, en 1984. Siguió con una serie de álbumes en diferentes formaciones, como solista ( Home Grown, 1985), big band ( Open on All Sides in the Middle, 1986 ), trío ( Twilight, In the Year of the Dragon y Segments, 1989) y sexteto ( The Nurturer, 1990) . Su álbum Maroons, de 1992, contó con la trompeta de Wallace Roney. Allen y Roney se casaron en 1995, pero el matrimonio acabó en divorcio. Allen continuó en activo, publicando álbumes en los sellos Blue Note, Verve, Storyville, Telarc y Motéma. A lo largo de su carrera, también apareció como sidewoman en álbumes de Betty Carter, Ornette Coleman, Charlie Haden, Ernie Watts, Woody Shaw, Paul Motian y muchos otros. Recibió muchos premios a lo largo de su carrera, entre ellos el Soul Train's Lady of Soul Award, el Benny Golson Jazz Mater Award, el Doctorado Honoris Causa en Música (del Berklee College of Music), y otros más. En 2013, fue nombrada directora del programa de estudios de jazz de la Universidad de Pittsburgh. Geri Allen falleció el 27 de junio de 2017 a causa de un cáncer.
