Marshall Plan

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013


Count Basie Orchestra Alto Sax player Marshall McDonald visited SU for a student workshop and concert with the Mortin Schiff Jazz Ensemble last week. During a break in selections he talked about his progression from Clarinet to Sax, and how legends such as Danny Turner and Marshall Royal offered up a unique flavor that helped create a signature Basie Orchestra sound. The conductor for the concert was SU professor Joe Riposo.
