Maestro Marshall Allen
About this Event

Marshall Allen’s inventive and distinctive saxophone playing, as well as his band arrangements, have made him a major force in jazz going into his hundredth year. He is best known for his work with Sun Ra, not only recording and performing with him from the 1950s to Sun Ra’s passing in 1993, but also for taking over the leadership of the Sun Ra Arkestra for the past 30 years.
