Marcus Strickland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcus Strickland (born 1979) is a jazz saxophonist originally from Miami, Florida. He has lived in New York City since 1997. He plays tenor saxophone and on occasion soprano saxophone in what is termed a "Neo-Bop" style.
He considers his father an early inspiration as he had been a drummer in jazz and rhythm and blues, but at present he works as a lawyer. Marcus's identical twin brother E. J. Strickland became a drummer, like their father, and is currently member of Marcus's quartet. Marcus has worked with Tom Harrell, Wynton Marsalis, Irvin Mayfield, Roy Haynes, and Charles Blenzig. He is perhaps best known, however, for his quartet.
