Review

Speakin' Out is the U.S. label debut as a leader for multi-instrumentalist Michael Marcus performing in his first solo recording session. On this recording, Marcus circumvents playing it safe, but nor does he utilize his extended techniques to a deliberately abstruse end. These pieces run the gamut, from frenetic to picturesque as Marcus slowly sculpts the sounds with supple phrasing and deft tonal manipulation. Marcus' playing is simultaneously abstract and complex, yet ruminative and evocative enough that even the most dark-hued motifs remain a thing of eruptive grandeur. Through it all there is an inherent warmth and poignancy to Marcus' expressive narrative, which will surely assert him as one of the superlative artisans of his craft. After all these years, Marcus is indeed Speakin' Out.
