He is the mayor of Detroit in my book!

I remember that night.  That's me and Sullivan-- who's playing bass?

@cfoldesh I think it was Russ.

If you want to a hear a quick example of his work, check out the Ray Charles CD where he has Basie and Ellington guys backing him up. He does a really nice solo on "Alexander's Ragtime Band."

[wurlybird9]

pretty sure this is the CD titled "Genius of Ray Charles"?

[bigdog024]

Correct, sir!

[SimplySwing]

Nothin against Marcus, but are we sure Wynton and Sean have called him the greatest trumpeter on earth?
