Marcus Belgrave ❤️

The city’s music is spiritual, searching and defiantly local, even when it spreads worldwide. Hear tracks from Yusef Lateef, Geri Allen, James Carter and other Detroit jazz greats.

I’m putting together a comprehensive list of all of the people, my husband, the late jazz master Marcus Belgrave mentored. The list I have currently is extensive, however I probably have missed some. Once the documentary I’m producing on him comes out. I’m sure I will be inundated so I thought I would get a heads up on updating the list. If you have been mentored by him, please do send me an email and let me know as well as how you knew him. You can reach me via

joanbelgrave.com or

I thank you in advance for being my personal “PR”, for sharing and helping me spread the word about his incredible story. 💕💕🎼

I will be compiling all of your stories and hope you will come out to see it when it shows in your country.

Soon, very soon my love, ❤️the whole world will know how wonderful you were💕💕🎶🎼
