The
collective impact of Belgrave's mind, music and vision is felt across
the spectrum of identities for which he has become rightfully recognized
both within and outside of the jazz community. His tribute to Louis
Armstrong is unparalleled and is enthusiastically received by audiences
all over the globe. As a singer, Marcus is blessed with a natural low
and gravelly voice, so his "Satchmo-like" vocalizing comes
off evoking the Armstrong sound, spirit and warmth with uncanny ease.
His CD "Tribute to Louis Armstrong" was accepted for inclusion
as part of the official Louis Armstrong House and Archives at Queens
College, flushing, New York. His CD Tribute to New Orleans, Ray Charles & The
Great Ladies of Song, highlight his collaborative side as he has fun
with the music in duets and shows the audience a bit of the New Orleans
spirit which produced such great music.. He currently also tours (as
a special guest) with the Historic New Orleans Preservation Hall Band. |
