Steve Marcus

Steve Marcus (born September 18, 1939 in the Bronx; died September 25, 2005 in New Hope, Pennsylvania) was an American jazz saxophonist. He is credited (along with Larry Coryell) as being a "godfather" of jazz/rock fusion. His first album as a leader, "Tomorrow Never Knows" featured a custom arrangement of the ground-breaking Beatles song. He continued this trend until he later became known for more orthodox jazz playing with Buddy Rich. He was his featured soloist for the last 12 years of Rich's life. He took the reigns of the band as the de facto leader after Rich died, renaming it "Buddy's Buddies" and touring the world with alumnus of Rich's many groups.
