I have known Marcus Belgrave for more than 35 years, and has appeared in performance with him at least twice as a young musician. I can`t say I was the young tenor saxophonist that set the world ablaze with the trumpet legion, but it was a personal validation that I have played with such a great master of music; Mr. Marcus Belgrave.
Appearing at Detroit Public Library`s Java & Jazz concert series, June 17, 6:00 pm, Marcus Belgrave will take center stage with his wife, vocalist Joan Belgrave. Marcus & Joan Belgrave Jazz Ensemble will perform the finest jazz and blues ranging from the 30`s to present day. This just after the theft of the trumpet greats horn.
Stolen at Burt Market Place from the trunk of his car was the horn of the trumpet great. Thank God for good people. Marcus Belgrave`s trumpet was found at Zeidman`s Pawnshop. Marcus Belgrave`s blessing is a blessing to all of us in the jazz community of Detroit.
