From the free playing attitude of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Lights On A Satellite lands with a full groove right in the heart of swing. The recording is a tribute to the life‘s work of Marshall Allen, who celebrated his 100th birthday on May 25, 2024. Recorded in Studio A at New York‘s Power Station on June 16, 2024, the album honors the mastery of this exceptional musician as a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, bandleader, teacher and keeper of Sun Ra‘s legacy.





On Lights On A Satellite we experience the virtuosity of the master and his satellites, the interplay of the Sun Ra Arkestra as a very own sound entity in the greatest possible expansion, across generations of musicians, and with an all-encompassing repertoire.


In Lights On A Satellite Allen unfolds his full mastery of the alto saxophone. His distinctive voice bursts out of the exquisite interplay with the strings with all its explosive solo power in the moment the entire reed section kicks in. The album concludes with “Tapestry From An Asteroid,” which has been a part of Sun Ra Arkestra’s instrumental repertoire since 1956 and can finally be heard with a wonderful arrangement particularly highlighting the sonorous baritone saxophone of Noel Scott and Allen’s striking overblowing of the higher registers.


Release Date: Nov 22, 2024from www.chicagojazz.com
