 New York (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Marcus Roberts returns to the city that inspired his latest record, 'New Orleans Meets Harlem, Vol. 1,' for a six-night run, July 21-26, at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola (Jazz at Lincoln Center). While in NYC Roberts will appear on WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show for a live interview and performance on July 22, and tape NPR's Mary McPartland's Piano Jazz for later broadcast. The Marcus Roberts Trio has spent over a decade together, a relationship perfected on the new J Master Records album 'New Orleans Meets Harlem, Vol. 1.' USA Today's Brian Mansfield called the album "a nonlinear master class on jazz styles." In Jazz Times, Marc Silver wrote, "Roberts is clearly at an artistic peak."
