The mmq (mitch marcus quintet) has been a staple on the jazz scene on both coasts for over a decade. Fronted by Tenor Saxophonist Mitch Marcus, co-led by Alto Saxophonist Sylvain Carton, and featuring Mike Abraham (guitar), George Ban-Weiss (bass), and drummers Tomas Fujiwara and Jeff Marrs the group is a unique ensemble, a real band with its own sound. The mmq has penned over 100 original compositions that stretch the boundaries of jazz music all the while being steeped in its tradition. The rhythm section, in addition to providing unrelenting propulsion, are very much a part of the structural force behind the compositions. Equally involved are the Saxophones in the rhythmic foundation that pushes the music forward.
