Marcus Roberts with Special Guests Jason Marsalis & Rodney Jordan
His piano style, while based on the entire history of jazz, is known to have a “deep soul” character. At the age of 21, Roberts toured with Wynton Marsalis with his own band for six years. Roberts’ release of “New Orleans Meets Harlem Volume 1” in 2009 was the first on his new label, J-Master Records. He is on the faculty at the School of Music at Florida State University. In May 2014, Roberts many contributions to the field of music were acknowledged through the awarding of an honorary Doctor of Music degree from The Juilliard School.
