About Marcus Anderson:
After his breakthrough in contemporary jazz circles as the 2009 winner of the Capital Jazz Fest Challenge, Marcus Anderson is embracing every opportunity to perform and inspire fans – and most importantly, as the title of his third and latest CD attests, fully living in the NOW. The multi-talented composer, saxophonist, flutist’s, and choreographer has had a powerful ongoing development of his career and his move toward the top tier of contemporary jazz has been unmatched. With the release of NOW, his third solo CD, and fourth release “Tender Loving Christmas”, Anderson’s goal is to capture the energy from his live shows and make this collection of music his most dynamic, joyful and creative recordings yet.
Review: “Saxophonist Marcus Anderson, a Capitol Jazz Fest Challenge winner who has studied with Branford Marsalis, is a man you want to know if you like your contemporary jazz funky, urban and uplifting. The title track to his third solo CD, NOW, is a bouncy soprano sax tune that’s sure to remind listeners of the best of Kim Waters. Anderson also lays down his burnished, deeper-sounding tenor sax on such tempting originals as “Feeling You” and “M-Powered,” the latter produced, mixed and arranging by the award-winning jazz duo Four80East. Old-school fans will simply dig Anderson’s talkbox talents on classics; Smokey Robinson’s “Crusin’” and Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time.” Add the urban-adult flavor of “Together Forever” with Marcel Anderson’s smooth vocals and Marcus Cole’s smoky vocals on the anthemic “Family Bond,” and you’ve got yourself one the best CDs of 2011”. – Brian Soergel, JazzTimes
