Bass clarinetist/composer Todd Marcus is one of the few jazz artists worldwide to focus their work primarily on the bass clarinet. He has carved out a unique voice for the instrument and the NY Times writes, “Mr. Marcus is probably the most inventive bass clarinetist working in straight-ahead jazz today…... lives in Baltimore, where he is a guiding light on the city’s jazz scene who doubles as an activist and organizer.”
Based in Baltimore, MD, Marcus leads small ensembles such as his quintet, quartet, trio, and duo as well as his nine piece jazz orchestra on original compositions and jazz standards.
Self taught in jazz theory and composition, Marcus’ compositions draw largely on straight-ahead jazz and classical influences and have extensively explored the Middle-Eastern sounds from his Egyptian-American heritage.
Marcus balances his music career by running Intersection of Change, a nonprofit addressing poverty related issues in his Baltimore neighborhood.
