Marshall Allen 100th birthday reading - The Wire
To mark the 100th birthday of saxophonist Marshall Allen on 25 May, we have made three articles featuring the Sun Ra Arkestra bandleader free to read in our online library: Allen’s Invisible Jukebox from 2004, a 2015 interview by David Keenan, and Val Wilmer’s 2014 essay on Allen's formative time in Paris during the 1940s.
