Jazz Times Magazine has described Lenny Marcus’ music  as “Infectious!” No wonder,  since Lenny worked for many years in New Orleans studying and performing with legends such as Ray Bryant, Ellis Marsalis, and Alvin Batiste. He has a strong blues-oriented left hand,  thanks to Bryant. Lenny possesses a superior melodic imagination and highly developed arranging and orchestration skills that become palpable throughout a diversity of styles-swinging, cool, sophisticated,  Jazzified Beethoven masterpieces, Latin, toe-tapping, high energy as well as beautifully contemplative and engaging.  Visit https://www.lennymarcusmusic.com/ for more details and to hear some of their performances!
