Marcus Roberts (born August 7, 1963, in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American jazz pianist who has achieved fame as a stride pianist committed to celebrating classic standards and jazz traditions. He must be re-incarnated because he plays music that's before my time, and it's music that I have never liked, but when he plays it I like it. I always feel as though I'm listening to some musician that was buried ages ago.
Right now I'm listening to "Arkansas Blues" by Marcus Roberts. In general I don't like "blues", Arkansas or otherwise, but I like what I'm hearing, and I know it's music they played when they had those crank type record players, and all those musicians are in "Gabriels" band, now that's "haunting" in more ways than one, because the music I'm hearing could not possibly come from someone born in 1963.
