Ars Nova Workshop presents the return of centenarian powerhouse Marshall Allen and his ever-changing Ghost Horizons ensemble, celebrating the release of the project’s debut album as well as Marshall’s 101st arrival day at Solar Myth on Friday, May 23.

Still traveling the spaceways after more than 100 years on the planet, the indefatigable Maestro Marshall Allen remains a brilliant imaginative force whose life has spanned nearly the entire history of jazz. A key member of the Sun Ra Arkestra for more than six decades and its dauntless leader for the last quarter century, Allen has kept the iconic bandleader’s cosmic torch blazing brightly while forging a path through the spaceways as a singular voice on the alto saxophone and Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI).

Allen has led a number of diverse incarnations of his Ghost Horizons band with guitarist DM Hotep at Solar Myth over the last few years, highlights of which are now compiled on Ghost Horizons’ debut album for Otherly Love Records.
