Sun Ra Arkestra saxophonist Knoel Scott releases solo album

Celestial features contributions from longtime collaborator Marshall Allen.

American saxophonist and vocalist Knoel Scott has released a new full-length album.

Celestial marks the storied musician’s debut studio project to release under his own name, following decades spent innovating within jazz circles as a longstanding member of Sun Ra’s venerated Sun Ra Arkestra. The newly released album was tracked to tape at the all-analogue Artone Studios in the Netherlands with contributions from longtime collaborator and bandmate Marshall Allen, Arkestra alumnus Chris Henderson and burgeoning UK musicians Charlie Stacey and Mikele Montolli.

Celestial is out now digitally via Night Dreamer. Pre-order the album on black vinyl here.
