Two days after his 100th birthday, Marshall Allen embarked on a remarkable journey with the creation of New Dawn, his debut solo album. A revered member of The Sun Ra Arkestra since 1958 and the ensembleʼs leader since Sun Raʼs departure from this realm in 1993, Allenʼs career has spanned nearly seventy years, yet this marks the first time he has released a solo record under his own name. Rather than bookending an era, New Dawn presents itself as a new chapter for Allen — a love letter to spacetime that channels a century of musical transience and transcendence into seven outer dimensional tracks. Please join us to celebrate this momentous album with a unique World Cafe Live performance.
