My Damn Channel - "Lottie's Mood" - Marcus Belgrave

As a young man, Marcus Belgrave was tutored by Clifford Brown before going on to perform with legendary bands led by Ray Charles and Charles Mingus. Recognized as the Godfather of Detroit Jazz, he has mentored many of Detroit's greatest musicians. "Lottie's Mood" is a tribute to the Motor City's most legendary exotic dancer, Lottie "The Body" Graves.
