The Marcus Roberts Trio

Pianist Marcus Roberts is known throughout the world for his many contributions to the field of jazz music. Credited with the development of a new approach to the jazz trio, he is often hailed as “the genius of the modern piano.” Roberts has won numerous awards over the years, including the Helen Keller Award for Personal Achievement. His critically-acclaimed legacy of recorded music reflects his tremendous artistic versatility. In addition to his renown as a performer, Roberts is an accomplished composer and arranger. He continues to tour with Jason Marsalis, one of the greatest drummers of his generation, and the remarkable New Orleans bassist, Roland Guerin. The trio’s program, Rhythm in Blue, pays homage to the 100th Anniversary of Gerswhin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
