He relocated to Dallas, and worked as a consultant and engineer for Post-Op, Inc. There, he helped to streamline and modernize their audio facility and train the staff in Hollywood-style post production techniques. Later, Marcus was involved in a joint venture with Mad River Post. Working with principal James Appleton and top Hollywood editor Brad Wetmore, he constructed a state-of-the-art audio mixing suite. Marcus has performed at the Village Vanguard in New York City with Jazz legend Cedar Walton, as well as performing with his own group, "The Jazz Surgeons." With more than 30, 000 hours in the studio, Marcus's nickname, "Dr. Dave, the Surgeon of Sound, " is a fitting tribute. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
