the sound of the sun

Can I just say how annoying it is that I can't find any of the old Sun Ra threads with the search engine?

I was like YSI! YYYYYSSSSIIIII!

Then I read this part: the frequency of the sound waves is below the human hearing threshold.

Was just coming here to post about Allen myself; I got him (and John Gilmore) to autograph my "Blue Delight" CD booklet back when Marshall was a mere youngster of 66.

Has any other jazz musician of note ever reached the age of 100?

ragtimer eubie blake famously faked it!

(he was actually 96 when he died but he'd added a few years a few decades back and reached the magic yet also bogus number and we all cheered tremendously)

there's a handful on this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centenarians_(musicians,_composers_and_music_patrons)

bassist charles burrell maybe the most prominent?

Indeed, the only other name I recognize there is Phil Nimmons
