MITCH MARCUS

Mitch Marcus Quintet One of the Bay Area's most riotously swinging young jazz groups, the quartet serves up post-bop with an array of jagged rhythms. But just when the sound becomes reckless, they connect the dots brilliantly. Marcus, 30, is a Berkeley saxophonist with tons of national support, and he fronts several ensembles with nuance. from Francisco Chronicle : August 28, 2005 by Daniel King
