Jason Marshall’s 2003 arrival in New York City signified the continuation of hard swinging, forward thinking baritone saxophone playing. With early encouragement to appreciate all types of music, Jason has developed a style that encompasses the whole of African- American music. A special interest is given to the amalgamation of soul, R&B, and funk with straight-ahead jazz. Years of dedication and perseverance have resulted in a giant, soulful sound and instantly appealing concept. Jason has studied with the elite baritone saxophone specialists of the 20th
century including Hamiett Bluiett, Ronnie Cuber and Gary Smulyan. Other teachers include altoists Bruce Williams, Mark Gross, Steve Wilson, Vincent Herring and tenor players Greg Tardy, Wayne Escoffrey and Paul Carr.
