In the early 90s we were fortunate to catch this master pianist on his way up in the world of jazz. Marcus Roberts’ highly innovative and original piano style reflects his passion for great music of every genre, from the masters of jazz and classical music to his mother’s gospel singing. Blind since the age of 5, the self-taught prodigy studied classical piano and later toured and recorded with Wynton Marsalis. Now leading his own ensemble, he performs with drummer Jason Marsalis and bassist Rodney Jordan
