Marcus Reynolds
Born:
Called by The Oregonian "...a fine pianist with an ear for avant-garde-leaning melodic sensibilities..." pianist and composer Marcus Reynolds has begun to make his mark on contemporary jazz as a solo pianist, leader of his own groups and as co-leader of the Farnell Newton-Marcus Reynolds Quartet.
