Marcus Belgrave Presents A Tribute to New Orleans, Ray Charles, and
the Great Ladies of Song
"I have just one word to say: WOW!...The music is great….
The arrangements are fabulous …….a genuinely crowd-pleasing
act…..I love it.…pizzazz and charm….glitter of a New
York stage sprinkled all throughout it."
-Pete Fallico- KKUP Radio -Santa Cruz,
Ca, KCSM Radio -San Mateo, CA
"…. to catch Belgrave performing with his touring band….. was to gain new appreciation for his work…Belgrave's easygoing tempos, fervent lyricism”and raspy vocals…. puckish vocal phrasings and mercurial trumpet lines.. Belgrave took pains to share the spotlight with his band, which turned in some of its most exemplary playing in early Duke Ellington"
“New Orleans mind-set flows smoothly in heart
of Chicago”
