The Gaye-Scott Collaboration Band
All About The Band
I am thrilled about the 9-piece band and the incredibly talented vocalist, Brian Owens, that band leader, Jeff Anderson, has assembled to perform the music and arrangements of Marvin Gaye and Bobby Scott. Brett Stamps, Professor Emeritus of Music at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, is the trombone player in the band, Eric Slaughter, a master guitarist from St. Louis, is also part of the ensemble and both are credited with transposing the Bobby Scott arrangements for this Gaye-Scott Collaboration. Some musicians will take part in a panel discussion immediately following the concert, hosted by Associate Professor Emeritus Prince Wells III of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Department of Music. You can find more information about these talented individuals in the blog section on this website www.jazznmysoul.com.

Mickey Stevenson 1st A&R Man for Motown Records
Mickey Stevenson and Marvin Gaye
It was Mr. Stevenson's job to produce a hit record for Marvin Gaye, and he understood this from the very first meeting in 1961 at Motown. He also realized that Marvin had his mind set on producing a jazz album. Mickey worked it out and delivered.
Here My Dear
How Sweet It Is
Jazz in My Soul/A Marvin Gaye Fantasy a thought-provoking one act musical stage play. A delightful, fantasy, dream sequence about a woman who dreams of Marvin and his beautiful jazz ballads every April 1st (the day of his death) for over 30 years. Every year her dream is the same, until the day of our play, that is when the dream takes an unsuspected twist.

About Jazz in My Soul
It Takes Two
Jazz in My Soul "A Marvin Gaye Fantasy" is the labor of love and brainchild of first-time playwright now author Edie (Bee) Anderson. Originally conceived as a great idea for a concert, it quickly grew into a movement and took on a life of its own. Now you can share in this fantasy inspired by the masterful collaboration of R&B legend Marvin Gaye, and the legendary singer, songwriter, arranger Bobby Scott.
