TROMBONIST Tyrone Hill, born in Philadelphia in 1949, and alto saxophonist Marshall Allen, born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1924, had a combined tenure as members of the Sun Ra Arkestra for more than six decades.
The great “Saturnian” was a huge influence on their musical lives and after he died in 1993 it wasn’t until four years later that Hill made Out of the Box, his first album as leader. His old compadre Allen was there with him, along with bassist Jason Oettel and drummer Samarai Celestial. They all play with a rumbustious zest and power.
