Allen Hermann is originally from New Orleans, and while still in high school there, he spent his weekends on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge absorbing the formidable talents of Carl Fontanta-Al's mentor. In later life, Fontana said of him "nobody gets around the horn any better than Al Hermann". He has performed with the Woody Herman Orchestra, Lionel Hampton, Buddy Morrow, Ellis Marsalis, Warren Vache, Dave Grusin, and many other outstanding musicians. Al has recorded with Carl Fontana, and has toured internationally as part of the Bob Montgomery/Allen Hermann Quintet. The quintet's latest CD, "on the Brink" (Summit Records) has received critical acclaim world-wide.
