Eyes in the Back of Your Head

Eyes in the Back of Your Head is an album by the pianist Geri Allen, recorded in late 1995 and early 1996 and released on the Blue Note label.

Reception
AllMusic stated: "The music is mostly avant-garde, but purposeful and logical in its own fashion. Well worth several listens". JazzTimes stated: "In conversation she's a thoroughly grounded woman, in music she brings that as well as a sense of storytelling and picture painting that never borders on the precious, and this recording is equal parts-pure Geri Allen, always rewarding".
