• The Marcus Strickland Trio will embark on several US performances and a Summer European Tour in support of their latest release Idiosyncrasies - Personnel: • Marcus Strickland named 'Rising Star, Soprano Saxophone' in Downbeat Magazine's Critic's Poll '08 and 'Best New Artist' in JazzTimes Magazine's Reader's Poll '06. • WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:
"Marcus expertly stretches the outside of the envelope on every solo, and his sense of narrative never falls flat."
- J. Hunter (All About Jazz)
"Like Newk before him, Strickland has assembled a set of tunes with strong, direct melodies that inspire boundless reveries... Strikingly, the leader's own originals are just as memorable, and tailor-made for his tightly attuned trio... Throughout the album, the trio maintains a sound both sparse and rich, with a relaxed ease that allows for experimentation but without the airiness ever feeling empty."
"This record, honest and stubborn, stands its ground."
"The tenor player's rough 'n' tumble trio record is gutsy..."
"Marcus's Idiosyncrasies, with E.J. on drums and Ben Williams on bass, is a streamlined acoustic trio date, steeped in jazz heritage even as it foregrounds inventive takes on tunes by OutKast, Oumou Sangare, Jaco Pastorius and others."
