Marshall Allen - New Dawn

Iconic saxophonist, composer, and Sun Ra Arkestra leader Marshall Allen is celebrating his centenarian status with new music. The 100-year-old artist will be releasing his debut solo album, titled New Dawn, on February 14th.

The announcement was accompanied by the release of the title track and its accompanying video. Stream it below. The celebrated artist has over 70 years of recording and performance to his name, but New Dawn will mark the first project under his name alone. The album, described as “a love letter to spacetime that channels a century of musical transience and transcendence,” will be seven tracks in total. Not one to be deterred by the passage of time, Allen began recording the project in Philadelphia two days after his 100th birthday.
