Marshall Allen & the New Dawn

Two days after his 100th birthday Marshall Allen embarked on a remarkable journey with the creation of New Dawn his debut solo album. A revered member of The Sun Ra Arkestra since 1958 and the ensemble’s leader since Sun Ra’s departure from this realm in 1993 Allen’s career has spanned nearly seventy years—yet this marks the first time he has released a solo record under his own name. Rather than bookending an era New Dawn presents itself as a new chapter for Allen — a love letter to spacetime that channels a century of musical transience and transcendence into seven outer dimensional tracks. This unique concert offers a window into the very first live performance of this remarkable album.

A pioneer of the avant-garde Marshall Allen‘s contributions both inside and beyond the Arkestra are legendary. Allen’s voice is one of cosmic spirit transcending the boundaries of traditional jazz and offering an emotional and spiritual resonance that has drawn comparisons to “Johnny Hodges from outer space.” Allen’s music has always been more than just sound journeying through all strata of creative exploration. His mastery of the saxophone alongside his dedication and demonstration of Sun Ra’s teachings has placed him in a distinct position within the avant-garde jazz universe for decades.
