This is almost certainly an autobiography, as the previous very similar speedied version also was. The sources are thin to the point of translucence: the claim to notability amounts to having won a minor award (we have no article on it, or the body that awards it, and I can't trace any other articles on winners). This is a promotional article by a WP:SPA. Guy (Help!) 12:03, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

 * not sure - the article is a promo and needs to be culled to a paragraph, but as it notes "Marantz has been the subject of many articles, including “Life, passion and all that jazz,” which ran in the Dallas Morning News in August 2010, and a cover article for the November 2009 edition of JAZZed magazine." which would suggest prima facie GNG. That last is linked in the article. At present this is a badly sourced BLP, but that's a real source for notability in his field. I'd like at least one or two more. (Then we can cull it to a paragraph.) - David Gerard (talk) 15:29, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but the source for that seems to be Marantz, who is the sole editor as far as my best guess goes. This is a real reach for WP:PROF. Guy (Help!) 00:03, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
