Album Review
Allen, Marshall Volcano Quartet – “Volcano Swing” – [Vibraphone Records]
Hemroid The Leader 12/28/2017 CD, Jazz
Marshall Allen Volcano Quartet, Volcano Swing
Marshall Allen was part of the Sun Ra Arkestra and this band is a continuation of that. They were in London in 2011 when a volcano exploded in Iceland, grounding all lights. The band took a three-day residency at Cafe Oto in North London.
They stopped by the BBC Radio to promote the gig and recorded this CD. First track is totally interstellar, but then they settle into a traumatic jazz quartet groove. the end of the CD there is a live interview and Marshall Allen reveals that he was a member of the Sun Ra Arkestra trapped in Seattle when Mount Saint Helens exploded in 1984.
