Saxophonist, composer, producer and educator Marc Kibrick Bernstein was born in Brooklyn, NY on January 19, 1961.After hearing a recording of Benny Goodman’s small group at a clarinet lesson as a youngster, Marc started going to the Village Vanguard, Sweet Basil and 7th Ave South to regularly hear, amongst others: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, James Moody, Gil Evans Big Band, George Coleman, The Brecker Brothers, Harold Mabern, Jaco Pastorius. Upon graduation from Berklee College of Music in 1984, Marc had been inspired further by hearing great Bostonians like Roy Haynes, Jerry Bergonzi, Allan Dawson, and his sax mentors Jimmy Mosher and George Garzone. Bernstein returned to New York in 1985 and recorded with Hal Galper and Billy Hart. He formed a quartet and duo featuring Hal which performed occasionally until the early 90?s. In addition, Marc played quite regularly with his group featuring Billy during that same period. In 1989 Bernstein replaced Arnie Lawrence in Chico Hamilton’s band and performed with him for two years. Highlights during his stay with Chico include concerts at the Apollo Theatre, Central Park and the JVC Jazz Festival. In 1990 Marc had the honor of playing a concert with Michael Brecker and Branford Marsalis. In 1991 Bernstein started his “Electric Quartet” which worked regularly at Visiones and featured Dave Douglas and Michael J. Stevens. Between 1991-1994 Marc appeared with his own groups and as a sideman with performances at countless venues in and around New York City, most notably The Blue Note, Avery Fischer Hall, Sweet Basil and Mikells. In 1994 Marc met Laila from Denmark on a plane on the way home from some performances in Europe. They decided to start their married life together in Denmark where they currently live with their son, Jonas Kibrick Bernstein. Shortly after his arrival in Denmark, Marc auditioned for and joined Kl?vers Big Band where he had the opportunity to perform and record with Bob Mintzer, Bill Dobbins, Ed Neumeister, Lars Jansson and Dennis Mackrel. Bernstein is also featured on the Kl?vers Big Band CD “Live In Tivoli” with Deborah Brown.
