Marc Jaffee

About Me

Since graduating from Ithaca College with a B.M. in Composition, Marc Jaffee has given over 1000 performances, written and performed nine albums, and composed four musicals. He has also taught over 1500 students and developed a Digital Music program for public schools . Most recently, Marc was seen in La MaMa Experimental Theater’s Production of Sam Shepard’s “The Tooth of Crime” which received top reviews from the New York Times and The Village Voice. Marc's latest release is POP GOES THE CULTURE. Pop Goes the Culture is the story of a man who becomes disillusioned with a world of commerce, politics and war. He tries to escape, only to find an uglier and more vengeful world than he could have feared. Isn't that funny?WARNING!!! This album contains violent and highly controversial images which are in no way appropriate for children or anyone who doesn’t understand satire. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
