Piano maestro Marcus Roberts shines with Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra
Marcus Roberts, blind since age five, stands out with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in Amherst. The pianist, in a white tux, fronts a tribute to Louis Armstrong while weighing future plans to lead his own septet. He reflects on influences from Ellington and Monk, and explains jazz must stay relevant in a modern dialogue with Gershwin for Lovers.
