Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
You'd have to be deep into jazz to recognize this guy (though I think at least 2 of you might) 🙂
Marcus Belgrave is one of those lesser-known jazz artists who was a true giant, but who deserved much wider acclaim.
As a trumpet player, I was fortunate to meet him when I was around 16 (in MI). I thought I was heavily into jazz, but he turned me on to awesome stuff I'd never heard before. Enjoy!
@codeWhisperer I'd never heard of Marcus Belgrave before and i wish I had! Thanks for sharing this! It reminds me a bit of Hal Galper (pno) and his collaboration with Terumasa Hino (trpt) on the album "Now Hear This" - https://youtu.be/ohS_09oxwj0
@FinnegansWhacked Checking out the Soundcloud link. Wow. Are these all your tracks?
@codeWhisperer You have some very clever Ts on your site - I just clicked on your link. You and your associates have very creative minds! Nice work!
@codeWhisperer Wow thanks for listening! Yeah. I think there are a couple covers in there, but they are all my performances/arrangements and the rest, my compositions.
