Welcome and Thank you!
Marc Adler
Jazz Improvisation & Composition
Flute, Alto Flute & Bamboo Flutes
As a jazz flutist Marc has a uniquely identifiable style that places a high value on the improvised line, extended techniques and a sophisticated and continually evolving approach to harmony using both traditional and nontraditional structures for creative improvisation. Although he has been recognized over the years for his improvisational skills by critics and by the PA Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, nevertheless, he continues to evolve and to develop his skills with new challenges and projects.
With each recording he creates or participates in and with each project he he devotes time and energy to, Marc strives to feature carefully crafted compositions spanning the whole range of human experience – from hard-driving and intense to sensuous and lyrical - all stamped with his characteristically rich full-bodied sound and joyous improvisations that skillfully weave through often complex harmonic terrain with rhythmic maturity and melodic inventiveness.
