Sun Ra Turns 100: Sun Ra Arkestra with Marshall Allen

Sun Ra incorporated elements drawn from black vaudeville, modern dance,
Egyptian cosmology, Eastern philosophy, numerology, surrealism, kitsch, and
the Bible to serve a corpus that deployed African rhythms, atonal melodies,
electronic timbres, raw blues expression, unfailing swing, and one-for-all
discipline drawn from the big bands that a internalized in his youth. Sun Ra
lives on in the current edition of the Sun Ra Arkestra, led by alto
saxophonist-woodwindist Marshall Allen.
