Certainly, it’s a fantastic place to hear great music every year but for Roberts, it’s also the home of “Swing Central Jazz” – where twelve great high school bands are selected each year to come to perform, learn and compete. Marcus Roberts is the Associate Director for Jazz Education at Swing Central. This year, 19 other great jazz musicians will join him on the Swing Central Jazz faculty and re-connecting with these other clinicians each year is a lot of fun and makes for some great music. But Roberts’ favorite part of the Swing Central program is the opportunity to work with so many talented and hard-working young musicians. The future of jazz is very bright in their hands.

In the liner notes of the new CD, Roberts comments, “I have been considering doing another Christmas recording for a few years. I have been blessed in my career so far to be able to do so many things, and since Christmas is a time for reflection and sharing with others, I decided that this was the right time for this recording. I have chosen some of my favourite holiday melodies to share with you. These are all new arrangements and I think that those of you who are familiar with our trio’s unique style and sound will recognize it here.”
