RE Marshall Allen as a nominee for Jazz Masters Lifetime Achievement Award
Re: Marshall Allen as a nominee for 2013 Jazz Masters Lifetime Achiedvement Award
Give credit where credit is due and the same thing will happen to you;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Sun Ra
With this note I am sending the contact info for the NEA Jazz Masters Award representative
It is time for Meastro Marshall Allen to receive this acknowledgement for the great Discipline, sacrifice and enlightenment he has shared with the world on behalf of the Creator and Sun Ra; His steadfast commitment to the healing of humanity through the idiom of Jazz has spanned four generations. His expression of lovingkindness to the people of this planet in particular his tolerance, tutelage and openness of mind has been the boon of many performing artists as well as music fans; In a manner akin to the formidable frank foster, Marshall has garned Ra sidemen and inculcated new musicians into the heliocentric worlds of Sun Ra and Intergalactic Music;;;;;;;;;;;;;;the Strange Mathematical Rhythmic Equations we call JAZZ; In addition, Masrhall Allen is likely the FIIRST Saxophonist to play so_called Avante garde Jazz developing this concept in concert with John Gilmore
under the guidance of Sun Ra: resulting in his influence upon and acknowledgement from every major musician of tthis idiom

Mashalls mastery of the Electronic Valve Instrument (EVI) is unparrelled and uncanny in his reinterpretation of Sun Ra.s improvisational approach; His composition and arranging contributions to the repertoire of the Sun Ra Arkestra has enabled the Arkestra to continue to forge ahead in the continuation of Sun Ras Vision and development of his musical Concepts which are still the marvel of this planet;
