Jeff Allen (born Jeffrey Allen, 23 April 1946, Matlock, Derbyshire) is an English rock and blues session drummer. Allen is best known for his work with East of Eden, Babe Ruth, Snowy White, Bonnie Tyler, Mick Taylor and Van Morrison.

Allen joined East of Eden in 1971,〔 and his percussion work appeared on five of their albums in the 1970s. In the early 1980s, working as a freelance session musician, Allen played on albums recorded by Bonnie Tyler (''Goodbye to the Island''), Murray Head (''Voices'') and John Martyn (''Well Kept Secret'').〔 In 1986, Allen joined Snowy White's Blues Agency, and drummed on their 1988 album, ''Change My Life''.〔 In 1995 Allen teamed up with both Mick Taylor and Snowy White for their live album, ''Arthur's Club-Geneve 1995''.〔 More recently, Allen played drums on ''Baghdad'' (2003) by Ilham al-Madfai.〔 Most recent duties include party planning for the Brunei Royal Family in London, which led to his appointment as executive producer of music concerts for Sensible Music, London.. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeff Allen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
