Saxophonist and composer Marcus Elliot is making a name for himself, performing with such greats as Marcus Belgrave and Robert Hurst in the greater Detroit jazz scene. He leads a group of young lions in a concert featuring original music from his new CD Looking Forward, a mix of contemporary jazz with a hint of hip-hop and R&B. Elliot will be joined by Glenn Tucker (keyboard), Ben Rolston (bass), and Julian Allen (drums).
