Allen is best known for his long association with Sun Ra , with whom he performed almost exclusively from 1956 to Ra's death in 1993 . Critic Scott Yanow has described Allen's playing as " Johnny Hodges from another dimension." Since Ra's death, Allen has led the Arkestra, and has recorded his first albums as a bandleader. In May 2004, Allen celebrated his 80th birthday on stage with the Arkestra, as part of their performance at the Ninth Vision Festival in New York City. He also participated in the " Outerzone Orchestra " together with Francisco Mora Catlett , Carl Craig and others in an appreciation of Sun Ra's music. Marshall Allen (right) with Joe Moudry.
