About The Alliance: Our collective of dedicated musicians is in constant pursuit of capturing the human condition in music form. The brainchild of award-winning composer and trumpeter Jack Benson, this orchestral group draws from the idioms of Jazz, R&B, Classical, and a dash of everything else to create new music that speaks to our place in the world, the emotional truth, and the systemic change we want to see.

Functioning as a 17-piece big band, we explore the endless possibilities of textures and colors to create meaningful art. Catch us in Boston, MA in the summertime and in Los Angeles, CA in the Autumn, Winter, and Spring.

About Noah Allen and the Peace: Noah Allen is a trumpet player, composer, songwriter, and producer from Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Over the past six years, Allen has been an active presence in the Providence and Boston music scenes. 

In the Summer of 2023, Allen joined the National Youth Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Sean Jones, touring Europe and performing at renowned venues including Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall. In 2024, Allen brought his group, Noah Allen & the Peace, to the Newport Jazz Festival. Over the years he has played with musicians such as Jesus Molina, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Myron Walden, Greg Spero, Warren Wolf, Moto Fukushima, Tia Fuller, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Sean Jones, and others.
