Pioneer of the jazz fusion dies

Steve Marcus, a jazz saxophonist who recorded and toured with Stan Kenton, Herbie Mann and Buddy Rich, has died. He was 66. Marcus died on Sunday in his sleep at his home in New Hope, family members said. He was a pioneer of the jazz fusion movement of the late 1960s, a musical movement that combined elements of rock ‘n’ roll and jazz.
