About this Event

An evening of smooth jazz with billboard recording artist and saxophonist, Marcus Click! Marcus Click, a Louisville, Kentucky native, dedicated 13 years of his early adulthood to serving in the U.S. Navy, where he developed a passion for the alto saxophone and contemporary jazz. Encouraged by the late saxophonist George Howard, along with Mel Holder, Nelson Rangell, and Najee, he began pursuing his professional music journey.

During this time, Marcus deepened his love for jazz by listening to and learning from legendary artists such as Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn, and Kirk Whalum, among others. Reflecting on one pivotal moment, Marcus recalls, “I became truly inspired by a phone call from the late saxophonist George Howard—a conversation I’ll never forget.”

In an unexpected turn during his musical journey, Marcus found himself performing with Rebbie Jackson during her show in Las Vegas. That moment affirmed that his life was being directed toward a career in music.

Throughout his journey, Marcus has received encouragement from renowned percussionist Sheila E., as well as fellow saxophonists Nelson Rangell and Najee. He also credits his saxophone mentors Joe Yorio (who toured with Peabo Bryson) and Mel Holder, a Grammy and Stellar Award–nominated artist and producer, for helping shape his musical path.

In 2023, Marcus released his breakout CD Brand New Day, which peaked at #37 on the SmoothJazz.com Top 100 Chart. His single “Higher Ground” reached #8 on the inaugural SmoothJazz.com Top 100 Streaming Chart, further establishing his presence in the contemporary jazz scene.

In 2025, Click received the InterContinental Music Award (ICMA) for Instrumentalist of the Year for his performance on “Higher Ground,” produced by Mel Holder. He will release his next single, Gratitude, on March 27, 2026—a smooth, radio-ready track produced by Grammy-, Stellar-, and Dove Award–nominated producer Mel Holder.
