City Winery Philadelphia presents Sun Ra Arkestra live on March 9th at 7:30pm
•Sun Ra founded the Sun Ra Arkestra in Chicago in the mid-1950's.
•Sun Ra was among the earliest pioneers of the synthesizer and the free jazz revolution of 1960's.
•The Arkestra are known for their live performances that combine big-band swing, space-age jazz,
singing, dancing, chanting, bright colors and Afro-pageantry. They have been at the forefront of Afro-futurism since their inception.
•Maestro Marshall Allen, the avant-garde alto saxophonist, who is 99 years young, joined the Arkestra in 1960.
He has been directing the Arkestra since 1995. Marshall continues to compose and record with the Arkestra.
He performs live on stage with them when they play within driving distance of his home in Philadelphia and he will be directing
the Arkestra at City Winery.
