Marion was born in West Virginia and grew up in Stamford, Connecticut. He began playing the clarinet and studying classical music at the age of nine.
During his college years he played in a number of bands including disco, R&B and various jazz ensembles. “I got a lot of sideman jobs in college, and I have always said I got my real graduate degree playing clubs “says Meadows, who perfected his craft studying with Sonny Fortune, Joe Henderson, Dave Liebman and Eddie Daniels. “Not long after I finished school, (drummer) Norman Connors recorded one of my songs, “Invitation” and then asked me to join his band. I later produced his Passion album with my colleague Jacques Burvick (Aquarium Dream).
Things just fell into place.
