Celebrating Diversity Celebrating Diversity - Overcoming Adversity part 2: Marcus Roberts by Valerie Etienne- Leveille Marcus Roberts, 1963 – present: Musician, composer, arranger Marcus Roberts was born on August 7th, 1963 in Jacksonville, Florida. He grew up listening to his mother’s gospel singing and the music of the local church. These exposures to music had a lasting impact on his musical style. Marcus began teaching himself to play the piano at the age of five after losing his sight due to glaucoma (1)(2). At the age of ten in 1973, Marcus entered the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind (FSDB). Marcus did not receive formal piano lessons until he was 12 but he progressed very quickly through hard work and good teachers (2). In the 10th grade, he was mainstreamed in the local St. Augustine high school in the morning, and he went to FSDB in the afternoon for music (3). After graduating from FSDB, Marcus went on to study classical piano at the Florida State University (FSU) with Leonidas Lipovetsky (2). Marcus has won many awards and competitions over the years, but the one that is most personally meaningful to him is the Helen Keller Award for Personal Achievement. Marcus Roberts is known for his ability to blend the jazz and classical idioms, which focus on specific technical features, to create something new. He is also well-known for his development of an entirely new approach to jazz trio performance (2). His recordings reflect his artistic versatility and include pieces such as solo piano, duets, trio arrangements of jazz standards, large ensembles, and symphony orchestra (3). He launched his own record label, J-Master Records, in 2009 and has released several popular recordings. Marcus is the director of the annual Swing Central Jazz Programs that bring high school students from all over the country to Savannah, Georgia for educational programs and a band competition (3). He also serves as the Associate Artistic Director of the Savannah Music Festival and as an associate professor of music at the Florida State University’s School of Music. Marcus Roberts holds an honorary Doctor of Music degree from the Julliard School. Marcus Roberts at the piano (3). Photo courtesy of FSDBK12.org He is dedicated to train and mentor younger jazz musicians. With his goal of training and mentoring the youths, Marcus founded a new band called “The Modern Jazz Generation” which is a multigenerational ensemble. He also returns often to FSDB in St. Augustine to work with music students. He performs regularly in the St. Augustine and Jacksonville areas and recently joined the Jacksonville Symphony for an improvised VALERIE ETIENNE-LEVEILLE 1 performance of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Marcus Roberts is a highly acclaimed modern jazz pianist, composer, and educator who has been hailed as “The genius of the modern piano “according to Marcus Roberts’s website and a CBS 60-minute interview (2). Marcus Roberts is an inspiration to all to continue to seek one’s dreams and give back to the youths. References 1. Stjohnsculture.com. (2020, June 24).

  • 1987 DOWN BEAT 17 Melodic, Blues-Based Invention of Ornette Coleman, Or the Doing, They Weren't Interested in His Enthusiasm
    By Stanley Crouch Editor's note: We last interviewed Wynton Marsalis in 1984. Since tha.t time his popularity and notoriety have, if anything, grown and, as can be seen in the following interview, he views his position with the utmost responsibility and seriousness. It is interesting to note that despite-or perhaps because of-his popularity, the trumpeter has become the focal point in a critical controversy waged over questions of innovation vs. imitation. In addressing these questions, and those concerning his success, the importance of knowledge and technical preparation for a career in music, and the role of jazz education, he brings the same carefully considered articulation which identifies his musical creativity. • • • STANLEY CROUCH: Do you hove anything to soy before we humility to one day add to the already noble tradition that first begin, on opening statement? took wing in the Crescent City. It still befuddles me that all the drums Jeff Watts is playing has been overlooked. He's isolating WYNTON MARSALIS: Yes. I want to make clear some things I aspects of time in fluctuating but cohesive parts, each of which think have been misunderstood. Were I playing the level of horn I swings, and his skill at thematic development through his aspire to, I don't think I would be giving interviews; I would be instrument within the form is nasty. But then he is The Tainish making all my statements from the bandstand. But at this point, One. Marcus Roberts is so superior in true country soul to any words allow me more precision and clarity.

Seventeenth Concert of the 115th Season 23rd Annual Choice Series ABOUT THE ARTISTS The Uptown String Quartet is everything you wouldn't expect a string quartet to be. The difference lies mainly in the quartet's approach and choice of material while performing with an eclectic style all their own. On their debut recording Max Roach Presents The Uptown String Quartet, the ensemble brings a magnetic blend of cohesion, expressive warmth and energy to a host of marvelously conceived pieces. Skilled improvisers and polished ensemble players, they traverse a tremendous range of music and they match their expansive techniques and subtle dynamic shades to the demands of each piece. Let Us. Break Bread Together is marked by lovely lyrical shadings and buoyant episodes, and Tricotism by its driving urgency that is mesmerizing in its complexity. Maxine's arrangement of Extension, with its brilliant percussive energy, was nominated for a Grammy Award.
