Biography

Fromwikipedia

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. Roberts has also distinguished his solos by accompanying himself with walking basslines. He thus creates a more two-fisted style than is found elsewhere in modern jazz, and his basslines are also convincingly spontaneous. Interpreting Thelonious Monk, he brings creative dissonances to Monk's compositions.

As the biographical information accurately implies, Roberts is a highly versatile pianist."Deep In The Shed"' is a very interesting album and well worth a listen, but "Gershwin For Lovers" 1994, remains my personal favourite MR album. Try them both anyway.
