Kurz-Bio:
Der Jazzpianist, Komponist und Bandleader Barclay Allen wurde am 27. September 1918 in Denver, Colorado, geboren und verstarb am 27. Dezember 1966, erst 48-jährig, in Del Mar, Kalifornien. 1949 hatte er einen schweren Autounfall, weil er bei der Rückfahrt von einem Auftritt in Nevada einschlief. Danach war er gelähmt und konnte daher für längere Zeit das Bett nicht verlassen, aber er arbeitete trotzdem weiter. Er war der Pianist beim Freddy Martin Orchester und gründete später sein eigenes Orchester.
