    In the 80s #SunRa told the Arkestra, "If what you do CAN be done by machines, it is time to consider another line of work."

    #MarshallAllen joined the already established Arkestra in 1956, and at the age of 102 is still playing far beyond the reach of mechanization 😊

  2. #MarshallAllen interview (2024):

    “the space age is here to stay,
    there’s no place you can run away.
    Run to the rock to hide your face,
    rock cried out ‘no hiding place.’

    #MarshallAllen said if he was doing this for the money, he would have done something else long ago. He's been doing this for almost 70 years now, and will turn 101 next June.

  5. Think of New Dawn as a disciple bearing witness to his prophet’s message - and emphasizing its richness.” – #Bandcamp #sunra

    #MarshallAllen breaks two world records with #NewDawn

    This is by no means a new situation. #SunRa said exactly this fifty years ago. #CharlesIves sold insurance. The very first #musicians added at St Martins in the Field in 1420 each got only half a stipend!

    They have us over a barrel. They know we cannot stop, and we crave audience. I asked a local music store clerk if sometimes they felt like crack dealers. I just got a nervous laugh. 😅

    I learned from #MarshallAllen how music can have far better reasons to be than for money. YMMV.

  7. New Dawn, the debut solo album by my all-time favourite spacetravelling centenarian maestro Marshall Allen hits the interwebs appropriately enough on Valentine's Day 2025 💝

    "A love letter to spacetime, it channels a century of musical intelligence into seven tracks, showing Allen at his most protean — freely moving from relaxed, transdimensional palettes to bluesy big band and beyond."

  9. Giles Peterson talks to Marshall Allen this afternoon, a fabulous 101 year old man who played the Saxophone around Post War Europe, denazifying the lands with Jazz and then became part of Sun Ra Arkestra.
    Truly an incredible life seeing the worst of humanity then reaching for the stars.

    Space is the Place.

  11. “Newport has seen and presented every development in jazz since 1954. I’m so proud and happy to be involved with that legacy. And that legacy will very surely carry on.” - Christian McBride

  12. #NowPlaying ❝I forgot I was 99! I was so wrapped up in the music and trying to build something that I didn’t have the time to be out there destroying myself. It kept me inspired. Then the years go by, next thing I know, I’m 99!❞ — #MarshallAllen, #SunRa Arkestra’s director youtube.com/watch?v=mw-zE7zGEk
