Marcus Roberts Radio Magic, Day Two

As Mark Satlof recently noted in this space, Marcus Roberts is in town for a string of shows at Jazz At Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola (thru July 26) that the NY Times has already called "extremely gratifying." Yesterday, Marcus visited WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show - today, it was NPR's Piano Jazz. Marcus joined guest host and bassist extraordinaire Christian McBride for a wide-ranging conversation that touched on the pair's history together, and Marcus' plans for the future. And the tunes were sublime. This episode of Piano Jazz won't air for a few months; in the mean time, here's a photo of Christian and Marcus snapped just after the taping.
