Barclay Allen

Pianist and bandleader whose brilliant career was tragically cut short by an auto accident. Allen worked with Freddie Martin briefly in 1946 before forming his own group. He became popular for his Latin-esque theme song, ''Cumana,'' which he co-wrote with Harold Spina and Roc Hillman. In 1949 Allen was paralyzed when he lost control of his car while driving all night between performances.

The midi file samples are short. Purchased copies have additional features. I think you will hear enough of the song to give you a feel, about 32 meaures (1 chorus). The full midis are much longer. Available as midi, .pdf files, on cassette, CD or printed sheet music.
