Timeline

1924

Marshall Belford Allen (born May 25, 1924) is an American free jazz and avant-garde jazz alto saxophone player.

He also performs on flute, oboe, piccolo, and the electronic EWI.

1950

Allen is best known for his work with Sun Ra, having recorded and performed mostly in this context since the late 1950s, and having led The Sun Ra Arkestra since 1995, after Sun Ra's death in 1993 and John Gilmore's death two years later.

Critic Jason Ankeny describes Marshall as "one of the most distinctive and original saxophonists of the postwar era."

Marshall Belford Allen was born in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.

1968

Allen began living there in 1968.

For Recordings With Sun Ra See: Sun Ra

1971

He has said that he "wanted to play on a broader sound basis rather than on chords" (1971 interview with Tam Fiofori) ). The opportunity came through his long association with Sun Ra, with whom he performed almost exclusively from 1958 to Ra's death in 1993, although he did record outside The Sun Ra Arkestra, with Paul Bley's group in 1964 and Olatunji's group during the mid-1960s. Critic Scott Yanow has described Allen's playing as "Johnny Hodges from another dimension".

Since Sun Ra died, Allen has led the Arkestra, and has recorded two albums as their bandleader.

1992

During the Second World War he enlisted in the 92nd Infantry Division and was stationed in France.

Allen studied alto saxophone in Paris.

Allen played in Europe with Jazz pianist Art Simmons and Saxophonist James Moody.

He is best known for his mastery of explosive, jarring, chaotic sound effects on the alto saxophone.

Some have referred to this as a "pyrotechnic" playing style.

2004

In May 2004, Allen celebrated his 80th birthday on stage with the Arkestra, as part of their performance at the Ninth Vision Festival in New York City.

2008

Allen gave other performances on his birthday in 2008 at Sullivan Hall and at Iridium Jazz Club in 2018, both in New York City.

Allen often appeared in New York-area collaborations with bassist Henry Grimes, and has also participated in the "Innerzone Orchestra" together with Francisco Mora Catlett, Carl Craig and others in an appreciation of Sun Ra's music.

In 2022, a building at 5626 Morton Street known as the Arkestral Institute of Sun Ra was listed as a historic landmark in the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.
