Michael Marcus & Ted Daniel: Duology
by Budd Kopman
Duology is an extremely interesting album that shows how much musical communication depends upon the players and not the instrumentation. Michael Marcus, who plays all manner of reed instruments, sticks to Bb clarinet here, while Ted Daniel plays four members of the trumpet family, including something called a Moroccan bugle. The lack of ...
Michael Marcus & Ted Daniel: Duology
by Troy Collins
Duology pairs multi-instrumentalist Michael Marcus and trumpeter Ted Daniel in a series of unique, vibrant duets. Eschewing his usual arsenal of horns, Marcus limits himself to B-flat clarinet, while Daniel alternates between a few members of the trumpet family for subtle variety.

Michael Marcus: ithem
by Kurt Gottschalk
It's dizzying to think about the number of unreleased recordings that must exist in this town. Tapes rolling at the sound board and, controversially, microphones in the audience, are how the history of the music is preserved and, every once in a while, returned to the public. They're little time machines taking us back to when ...
A Fireside Chat with Michael Marcus
by AAJ Staff
I like originals. The way Dolphy mimicked bird sounds, the way Coltrane turned chaos into serenity, Tapscott reaching into the folds of a grand piano and plucking strings like a harp, and sheer instrumental vocabulary of Golia, make listening to this music in this age easier. I like Michael Marcus. He's an original. Jaki Byard liked ...
