Marco Eneidi (November 1st, 1956 - May 24th, 2016) was an American jazz alto saxophonist. He was primarily associated with free jazz.
Eneidi grew up in the Bay Area, where he took lessons with Sonny Simmons. He moved to New York in 1981 to study with Jimmy Lyons. He started to play with Jackson Krall, William Parker and Denis Charles. In 1984, he was hired by Bill Dixon to teach at Bennington College. In the early 90's, he recorded his first important dates as a leader, such as Final Disconnect Notice. He was hired by Cecil Taylor, with whom he played in Europe. Eneidi moved back to the West Coast in the late 90's, notably playing with Glenn Spearman. In 2005, he moved to Vienna, where he ran weekly free improvisation sessions until his move to Mexico in 2015.
