Whether it’s been from a memory of yesteryear that goes far beyond space or time consisting of him jamming alongside the prolific jazz composer Sun Ra or during his current role of fronting the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, you have seen/heard incendiary saxophone impresario Marshall Allen perform for a number of occasions throughout the year. But it’s been quite some time, since you’ve had the chance to experience this interplanetary jazz master perform solo. Well, that is exactly what will be happening tonight at The Fire on this very rare bill, which will also feature jazz-noise artisans Extreme Fishkin. And given the improvisational talents of both acts and the number of musicians that they’re connected to, there’s bound to be plenty of unpredictable magic in store. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave, 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
