The Marc Sabatella Quartet
Marc's regular working group is The
Marc Sabatella Quartet, which currently features several of
the top up-and-coming musicians of the region. Over the past 20
years, Marc's quartets have been a mainstay of the jazz scene in
Colorado, ranging from their performances for Creative Music Works
and other major concert series and festivals to a run as the house
band at El Chapultepec. During this time, they have amassed a
large body of original compositions that form the core of their
repertoire.
Music for Piano, String Quartet, and Voice
Marc's latest "special" project is his Music
for Piano, String Quartet, and Voice. Marc was originally
trained as a classical pianist and composer before he began
playing jazz, and he never lost his affinity for classical music.
For this project, Marc has composed, arranged, and adapted an
extraordinary collection of music that encompasses both classical
and jazz elements.
The Marc Sabatella Octet
Marc's other "special" project is his larger ensemble, The
Marc Sabatella Octet. Although an octet might seem all that
large, Marc has a unique style of composing and arranging for this
ensemble that can give them the sound of a much larger group,
while retaining the flexibility of a smaller combo.
