Baltimore bass clarinetist Todd Marcus and New York clarinetist Don Byron present a lush ensemble that showcases the beauty and power of the clarinet in a modern jazz and often incorporates Middle Eastern influences of Marcus’s Egyptian heritage.While the clarinet once held a key role in early New Orleans jazz, it later fell out of favor to the saxophone as jazz progressed with bebop and louder, faster styles. The work of Marcus and Byron
responds by presenting two generations of artists showcasing the instrument’s potential and expressiveness today.
The two artists were featured on Marcus’ 2012 album Inheritance, named one of the top 10 Jazz albums of 2012 by NPR, and have performed and toured together since 2016. Byron, a prolific composer and performer as a Guggenheim Fellowship, Doris Duke Performing Artist Award winner, and a former “Jazz Artist of the Year” by jazz’s Down Beat magazine, “sees some of himself” in the upcoming Marcus who the New York Times writes, “is probably the most inventive bass
clarinetist working in straight-ahead jazz today.”
