Marcus Roberts, J Master, the Genius, the one who has accompanied me in my happy and sad moments since "time and circumstance". Everything is good in his discography; there's nothing to throw away. His musicians are all devoted to his music, including the generous Roland Guérin who plays wonderfully in "in Honour of Duke". Marcus' music touches the soul because he plays it with his heart. How can you thank someone who, true to his music and to himself, is always there when you need him and never lets go? Music is God's gift to mankind. Marcus is the most beautiful of gifts. Thank you for everything Friend
I’ve known and admired Marcus Roberts and Jason Marsalis since the time they collaborated with Seiji Ozawa on Gershwin's classics, but this bassist is completely new to me. Rodney Jones? No, Rodney Jordan. What a great find! He’s 1 of those musicians who hit only meaningful notes with no frills, leaving enough space between notes to “ferment” groove. His bass lines just come through nice and clearly.
Some of the most cerebral jazz I've ever heard. Marcus is, of course , a master. And Jason Marsalis is the most technically perfect drummer I've encountered. This trio sets the bar way up in the rafters!
Awesome! These guys came to my college and played for us in jazz class today, they were impeccable. They are playing in a concert setting this saturday and im gonna definitely be there.
I love Marcus' music so inspiring and invigorating. I love Jason Marsalis who is excellent as a side man and as a leader of his innovative band. I like Rodney "swing" Jordan who knows the bass like the back of his hand. But I also like Roland Guerin who is less gifted than Jordan but brings more explosiveness to an exceptional trio that is more accomplished than that of master Ahmad Jamal. In Honor of Duke and the 2009 Marciac concert are the perfect illustration of the magic of J.Master's trio
Marvelous. I wonder if someday someone will have the guts to stain their bass bridge to match the rest of the bass. It's about time I checked out what Marcus is up to. I caught him in San Francisco with Wynton at a Christmas time show about a million years ago...Venetian room? I was close, I know that.
I don't know why some piano trios setup like that, with the bass and drums behind the pianist. I play a little piano and I want to see the other players at times. There's eye-contact and some communication there. Jeff Hamiltons trio plays behind the pianist too. I don't understand this.
The bassist, Rodney Jordan, is top shelf! The trio is awesome!!
ALL MASTERS MUSICIANS! YESSSS, I love it ALL!!! Professors of and in JAZZZZZ! Absolutely BRILJANT!!!

@@logansmith3593: Thanks for the info!
The bass lines laid down on 'The Way You look Tonight' are just sublime. Awesome concert, so glad it's up and available for the world to see.
Three top musicians that blend together like clockwork. Just superb!
Perfect....The sound of hearth
So many takeaways the big one for me is dynamics
I have admired Jason Marsalis's drum work for a while; didn't know he was part of this trio. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow! I just discovered them today cause they will be at the Lone Tree Arts Center in Colorado. Will be purchasing a ticket to see them next month.
at 8:52 I love the lady's expression after the drum solo

Nice comment, but what makes you think that Roland is less gifted than Rodney? Just seems like that came out of nowhere.
Wonderful!!

I wish they had included track links in the info. Would be nice if someone would volunteer and post them in the comments.
Wow wow wow wow wow...
Keep doing this noise man
We used to call this progressive jazz, great stuff
The Book: "Undaunted By Blindness" brought me here !
Rodney and Marcus teach at Florida State University.

Does anyone know the name of the first song? PLEASE!
Love
Someone remind me the name of the song at 16:05

THANK YOU

Marcus Roberts I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to his post...from the J Master himself!! Keep swinging J!
maybe because roberts is fucking blind??
Bro he’s blind
wowwwwww
Nice intro. 5 + 4? If I'm not mistaken.
Dang. Enough said.
0:05
What was the first song
J Master
Not from this planet!! :o...
This reminds me of the MJQ rather than a fiery jazz group.
Nothing much new x all of them were/are great musicians, but when is really going to happen smthing shaky?
