Marc Copland
Born:
Born 27 May 1948, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Copland was a part of the vibrant music scene in Philadelphia as a saxophonist before going to New York where he met John Abercrombie and also played with Chico Hamilton, and others. He experimented with the electric alto but gradually became dissatisfied with the direction his music was taking and, leaving New York, quit playing the sax in order to study piano. He was gone for almost a decade but upon his return to the jazz world in the mid-80s his piano playing was a revelation, his own vividly original style firmly in place. As a sideman he played with Bob Belden, Jane Ira Bloom, Joe Lovano, Tim Hagans, James Moody, Wallace Roney and many others. But his career as a sideman in the Apple was relatively short-lived; Copland began recording and touring in trio with Gary Peacock and Billy Hart (At Night/Sunnyside, Paradiso/Soul Note) In the nineties, his reputation spread owing to three legendary recordings with the Savoy label, which put him on the road in an All-Star quintet (Randy Brecker, Bob Berg, and Dennis Chambers), and later in quartet with guitarist John Abercrombie, Drew Gress, and drummer Hart. Copland has enthralled audiences not only in trio and as a solo pianist, but also as a duo partner without peer—as attested by his duo recordings with Greg Osby (Night Call, Round and Round/Nagel-Heyer) and Gary Peacock (What It Says/Sketch).

Marc Copland Quartet: Dreaming
by Alberto Bazzurro
Si pone per così dire al centro del guado questo quartetto del settantaseienne pianista di Filadelfia Marc Copland, qui (il quartetto) al suo secondo album dopo Someday (2022, stessa etichetta). Il guado è la centralità dell'idioma jazzistico proposto, in bilico (in equilibrio, forse più correttamente) fra rispetto per il déjà écouté, tratti originali e sete di ...
Ariane Racicot: Danser avec le feu
by Dan McClenaghan
The piano trio is a tried and true jazz format. Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Red Garland and Ahmad Jamal made their marks there. Also Bill Evans, Marc Copland and Brad Mehldau, and so many others. And let us not forget Fred Hersch and a hundred or so more. Some artists, feeling constrained by the ...
Marc Copland: Dreaming
by Dan McClenaghan
Jazz man Marc Copland is known primarily for his piano albums, solo and trio outings. He is considered by some, rightly so, as the premier jazz pianist of our day, closer to the supple touch and refined harmony of Bill Evans than the bouncing, joyous near-bombast of Bud Powell. But he is no stranger to playing ...
Marc Copland: Alter Ego Lausanne 2022
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Marc Copland began his jazz journey playing the alto saxophone. It was an electric alto saxophone. Plugged-in saxophones are not heard much in jazz. And that is a shame. It seems like a good idea, juicing up the horn and making new sounds. But Copland soon found this way of making music limiting. He went ...
