Bio / Background
News Flash: April 2007 -- The Marc Why Group won the "Best Instrumental Music" prize at the Orange County Music Awards! They had previously won the "Best Jazz Artist" award, so this was an exciting addition. Read on:
The Marc Why Group is a Southern California-based jazz quartet specializing in performing modern jazz and modern renditions of classic jazz standards.
The MYG was formed in 2003 when local psychologist Dr. Marc Ybaben had the vision of playing in a jazz combo that focused on "something different" while providing audiences with high-quality, creative, and exciting jazz.
"Jazz bands run a similar risk as do symphony orchestras," Marc stated in a recent interview. "That is, if they play just 'the same old stuff' that audiences know, the music gets dull and the audience eventually gets bored. There needs to be a mix of old and new, classic and cutting edge, to keep both the musicians and audience interested and wanting to hear more.

In a typical performance, audiences hear a range of songs from classic composers like Gershwin, Jobim and Miles Davis, all the way to modern greats: Tom Harrell, John Scofield, Dave Holland and John Moulder. From the response at performances, the mix works.
The MYG and its members have performed at numerous public and private events throughout Southern California, including clients/venues such as: The Laguna Playhouse, Seven Degrees Art Gallery, The Lighthouse, The Long Beach Museum of Art, The Richard Nixon Library, the Pasadena Convention Center, and recently at The Coachhouse Theatre, where they opened for Chuck Mangione!
The MYG has just released its debut CD, Keep Me in Mind, which was recorded locally at the Headway Music Complex in Orange County. The recording recently earned them the distinction of "Best Jazz Artist" of the year in the 2005 Orange County Music Awards!
