Marcus Strickland

Marcus Strickland (born February 24, 1979) is an American jazz soprano, alto, and tenor saxophonist.

Additionally, he teaches jazz saxophone at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami.

His band and concept project, Twi-Life deals with the connection and intersection between jazz and Soul & Hip Hop as inspired by the J Dilla aesthetic of intricacy, “drunk drumming” and tonal nuance.

In addition to his own Twi-Life, trio and quartet, Strickland has played with Christian McBride, Dave Douglas, Jeff 'Tain' Watts, and also had a five-year stint with the drummer Roy Haynes.
