Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on April 25, 1961)

Happy Birthday to the incredible Carl Allen—drummer extraordinaire, jazz legend whisperer, and rhythm master who has kept time so flawlessly that even Freddie Hubbard nodded in approval! From Jackie McLean's soulful melodies to George Coleman's vibrant grooves and Phil Woods' swinging tunes, your beats have been the heartbeat behind countless legendary performances.

Carl, you've spent decades making music history look easy. Your sticks dance effortlessly across drums as if they're telling jokes only musicians understand. May this birthday swing harder than ever before—and may you continue inspiring us all with rhythms smoother than a saxophone solo at midnight!
