Marcus Belgrave's Hot Octet &
Vocalist Joan Bow-Belgrave
From Hello, Dolly! and What a Wonderful World to Louis Armstrong’s earliest classics like West End Blues, Stardust, and Potato Head Blues, Marcus Belgrave is unquestionably one of the few performers in the world with the three essential qualities needed to deliver a loving and convincing tribute to “Satchmo.” He is an astonishing trumpet virtuoso with a low, gravelly voice, that naturally evokes Louis Armstrong’s unique sound, and a warm stage persona that captures Satchmo’s spirit and warmth with down-home humor. He happens to look like Louis too!
"Marcus Belgrave brings Satchmo to life . . . he’s considered among the finest jazz musicians in the world.”
