Career Overview

About Marc Copland

Copland’s official site and artist-run catalog identify a pianist and composer with nearly forty leader and solo albums since 1988. The catalog also records his earlier identity as saxophonist Marc Cohen and his decades-long collaborations with John Abercrombie and Gary Peacock.[1][2]

His recent work moves among trio recordings with Drew Gress and Joey Baron, quartet sessions with Ralph Alessi, duo projects, and solo piano. Copland’s innerVoice Jazz imprint provides an artist-led home for those changing configurations.[1][2]
