The Sun Ra Arkestra Directed by Marshall Allen

Emerging in the 1950s, jazz legend Sun Ra created a musical movement deeply informed by his philosophical ideas and cosmic mysticism. Marshall Allen was a student of Ra’s teachings and led his reed section for 40 years before taking the helm of the Arkestra in the mid-1990s after Ra’s passing. Blending big band swing, free jazz, electronic instruments and the mood of the moment, they continue to be one of the most important living influences of avant-garde music. They put on a spell-binding show worthy of an alien invasion.
