He is classically trained as a clarinetist and also plays keyboards, saxophone and guitar. As a composer, he wrote all but two of the songs on Tutu for Miles Davis, including its title track – a piece that defined Davis's career in the late 1980s.

Marcus has won numerous Grammy Awards as a producer for Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, David Sanborn, Bob James, Chaka Khan and Wayne Shorter. He won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in 1992, for Luther Vandross' "Power of Love" and in 2001 he won for Best Contemporary Jazz Album for his seventh solo instrumental album, M².
