' Marshall Belford Allen (born May 25, 1924) is an American free jazz and avant-garde jazz alto saxophone player. He also performs on flute, oboe, piccolo, and the electronic EWI.
Allen is best known for his work with Sun Ra, having recorded and performed mostly in this context since the late 1950s, and having led The Sun Ra Arkestra since 1995, after Sun Ra's death in 1993 and John Gilmore's death two years later. Critic Jason Ankeny describes Marshall as "one of the most distinctive and original saxophonists of the postwar era." '

In the Roman alphabet, "I" came before "J", stylized to indicate the consonant-I (which, of course was pronounced /y/ and still is in most alphabets). But the Semitic/Egyptian/Phoenician "yodh" (') is the original "letter" of all of them.

In honor of our birthday boy, I'm listening to a recently restored recording (by our DJ) of Sun Ra at Haverford College 1980 on solo Fender Rhodes. It's killer, and one track features Walt Dickerson on vibes! I know our DJ is quite reasonably cautious about his fiduciary relationship with the estate, and I am so grateful for the marvelous work he does documenting the work of the master.

But Irwin, you know better than to write of the Haverford show, "This is a very unique performance"! Uniqueness is a binary affair, on or off. Either the performance is unique or it isn't.

We owe Lewis for prodding Tolkien to Publish. Yet Tolkien did not much approve of Lewis' writing in fact. & JRRT famously preferred Metaphor to Allegory - even tho he was responsible for Lewis reconciling with Xianity - &tc. Tho Tolkien also stated he was surprised how little the Religious aspects of his Fiction were remarked upon... I think simply his devotion was authentic enuff he was a Mystic @ heart.
