MARC COPLAND

ZINC / MAY 7

Originally an alto saxophonist at the start of his performing career, Marc Copland switched to piano and never looked back. Extremely popular in Europe, where many of his albums were issued, U.S. audiences began to discover what they’ve been missing in recent years. Marc channels the lyricism and intimacy of Bill Evans as a ballad interpreter, while his driving, introspective post-bop compositions and superb chemistry with anyone who joins him on stage always makes for compelling, memorable music. A prolific recording artist with a large discography as a leader or co-leader, Marc’s most recent album is Someday, issued on his label InnerVoice Jazz. Marc’s band includes two seasoned veterans, sist John Hébert and drummer Billy Drummond. KD
