ROUND MIDNIGHT, is an 11 track collection featuring tracks from a wide variety of sources, including Bill Evans, Paul Simon, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mandel, Thelonious Monk, Stephen Sondheim, even Charlie Chaplin. But regardless of who wrote the songs and when, Allyson ties them all together with the same melancholy thread with which they were originally spun. In the end, telling the story is what it's all about - even if the story is about heartbreak.
