Marshall Allen celebrates his 100th birthday with a new album, "Lights on a Satellite," showcasing his lifelong dedication to the Arkestra and Sun Ra's cosmic legacy.
On this album, listeners can experience both sides of the Sun Ra legacy, featuring the immaculately arranged 24-piece band that balances frenetic solos with classic jazz elements.
Each track on the album offers a different perspective, from the ominous and slow-building "Lights on a Satellite" to the nostalgic and upbeat "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans."
This work embodies a century of jazz history, reflecting its complexities through exuberant and mysterious compositions that honor the past while looking toward the future.
