Mr. Eneidi’s career in music really began at the age of 20 in Northern California, after having played clarinet for 10 years, playing standards, Tin Pan Alley, Dixieland and Swing music. After moving to NYC in August 1981 he became quickly involved with the Lower East Side scene of Black Musicians including Jemeel Moondoc, Roy Campbell, Denis Charles and William Parker. He also at this time began close relationships with Jim Pepper, Butch Morris, Dewy Redman and Don Cherry who he worked with in NYC and regularly rehearsed with. After meeting Bill Dixon in 1984 Marco began a close working relationship with Mr. Dixon for two years. 1992 saw his first working relationship with Cecil Taylor performing in groups ranging from duo to orchestra, a relationship which exists to this day. Living in Vienna, Austria since 2004, he is Artistic Director of the Neu New York/Vienna Institute of Improvised Music.
