Jason Marshall is a highly sought after and established fixture on the global music landscape. A rare
specimen even among the highly competitive New York City music scene, the Washington D.C. born
saxophonist can be seen playing soul music with Aretha Franklin, Latin jazz with Arturo O'Farrill, pop with
Desi Di Lauro, avant garde jazz with the Charlie Mingus Big Band and rock music with the Young
Presidents, sometimes all in the same week. In addition, the graduate of the New School and Aaron
Copeland School of music can also be found performing weekly with the iconic NYC hip hip band, Nickle
& Dime Ops and with his own, The Jason Marshall Organ Trio in Harlem. In New York since 2003,
Jason first gained attention as a side in several ensembles led by trumpet star Roy Hargrove. He has
performed on Broadway in the theater production of Fela! and Off-Broadway in the productions of The
Best is Yet to Come and Big Maybelle. In addition to playing saxophone in Big Maybelle, Mr. Marshall
also provided the voiceover for the entire play. Mr. Marshall has also been featured on bass clarinet with
the Mingus Orchestra and Chuchito Valdez. The Duke Jazz Ensemble is directed by John Brown.
