MAC Jazz Concert Series

Marty Isenberg Quintet

Friday, May 17 7:30pm

Bassist Marty Isenberg has been part of the rich New York City music scene for many years. His performing career weaves through many styles of music, from jazz, to classical music, to theater and contemporary music.

His career as a jazz musician began at the age of 12, after losing his father to cancer the year prior. Marty's father, a skilled amateur musician, kept many instruments around the house that he would play for the family. After his death, Marty would pull one of these instruments off the wall and begin teaching himself how to play by reading tablature in Bass Player Magazine.

Playing bass was love at first pluck for Mr. Isenberg. It was a cathartic healing experience, a way to stay connected to his father, and a way to express himself creatively. Marty’s Website
