Her 1992 album Maroons featured Wallace Roney on trumpet. Allen and Roney were married in 1995, but the marriage would later end in divorce. She continued to keep active, releasing album on the Blue Note, Verve, Storyville, Telarc, and Motéma labels.
Throughout her career, she also appeared as a sidewoman on albums by Betty Carter, Ornette Coleman, Charlie Haden, Ernie Watts, Woody Shaw, Paul Motian, and many others.
