 * Press
 * Has Influenced

Marcus Belgrave is Detroit’s internationally recognized jazz trumpet great.

He came to prominence in the late 50’s, touring and recording with the late
great Ray Charles’ Orchestra, at the height of Ray’s hit-making era. Marcus is
heard as a trumpet soloist on some of Ray’s most famous “hits”... both albums
and singles. He always pays tribute to Ray, who mentored him from the young age
of 19. He is the only living member of Ray Charles’ small band horn section. He
was also mentored by the Great Clifford Brown. Clifford’s early influence on the
young Belgrave can still be heard in his tone. Belgrave then spent the early
60’s spearheading the modern jazz movement in New York working and recording in
the bands of such major innovators as Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy and Max Roach.

Many of these classic recordings (on Atlantic, Columbia and other major labels)
have now been re-issued on CD. Belgrave moved to Detroit in the early 1960’s to
join Motown Records as staff trumpeter, (playing on most of the Motown hits.
Marcus has established himself as Detroit’s foremost jazz musician. He was
recently awarded the singular title of the official Jazz Master Laureate for the
City of Detroit., as well as a fifty thousand dollar Kresge 2010 Eminent Artist
award for his 46 years of service to the young musicians of Detroit. His
performances encompass the history of jazz musical styles.... from early New
Orleans, to Swing, Bebop and on, to the latest contemporary sounds. Marcus
continues to tour and record in the world’s major jazz centers. He was an
original member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.

Marcus has performed the music of Louis Armstrong to ovations with Symphonies
across America. He was a featured soloist as part of the Detroit Jazz Master’s
concerts with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at Frederick Rose Hall in New
York, A concert that included other Detroit Jazz Master’s Yusef Lateef, Ron
Carter, Curtis Fuller, Charles McPherson, and his protégé’ Geri Allen.,

Always the teacher, Marcus continues to mentor the “next generation” of jazz
musicians. His protégés include the who’s who of young jazz musicians:
violinist, Regina Carter, bassist, Robert Hurst, saxophonist, Kenny Garrett,
pianist Geri Allen, saxophonist James Carter, guitarist, Ray Parker Jr., drummer
Ali Jackson, the list goes on and on. Marcus Belgrave, Jazz Master, Mentor.
