Out There A Minute with Marshall Allen

A brief but insightful probe into the mind of musician, philosopher, and Philadelphian, Marshall Allen, this film visits the current leader of Sun Ra's Arkestra in the Germantown rowhome that has been the group's headquarters since the late 1960s. From here, Allen continues to share Sun Ra's music and ideas with the world.

Amazing. Marshall is a woodwind wizard with a crystal alto tone.

I love it! Marshall Allen playing a Crumar EVI (that I had the honor of modding and hot-rodding for him)! Thanks for posting this. I will pass it along to his admirers!

Bravo! to Marshall Allen! The house in Germantown--I wrote to then mayor Ed Rendel to make it a historical landmark. No reply then,,,but it should still happen.

Incredible.
We can’t him enough.🎛️🔊🎚️🎧🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸📡📡🎷🪈🎻🥁🎼🎹

it was amazing to see him perform live, from the front row, in Asheville, NC a few years ago... I was born in Philadelphia and was introduced to Sun Ra's music by my grandmother at the Bawa Fellowship in Philly... but I wasn't ready for the EVI!!!! It blew my mind. This man is a genius... if I had a way to time travel back to witness Sun Ra himself, Marshall Allen live is the way!

I used see Sun Ra back in the day when he came to NYC.. first time around 1971.. all the original members !.. spoke to them several times too .. remember some great memorable performances one at the Five Spot club.. amazing music

With this said, - does anyone know what is the little white keyboard Marshall is playing here?

[@squareeyedgit]

I believe it's a Casio VL-Tone.
