Marcus Anderson Serves Up Jazz With A Side Of Coffee

Marcus Anderson is a fusion jazz artist whose performances include not only playing the saxophone, but also singing and choreography. But Anderson is more than an artist — he is also an entrepreneur. In 2015 he started a coffee line called AND Coffee. And he is in the process of organizing a jazz festival in Asheville for August, 2019 called “Jazz AND Coffee Escape.” 

Anderson joins host Frank Stasio for a conversation about the upcoming festival, his work with Prince, and what it means to him to be a musician from North Carolina. Anderson is performing holiday concerts at Beyu Caffe in Durham at both 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7 and Sunday, Dec. 9. He also performs on Saturday, Dec. 8 at The Ramkat in Winston-Salem.

Amanda Magnus is the executive producer of Embodied, a weekly radio show and podcast about sex, relationships and health. She has also worked on other WUNC shows including Tested and CREEP.
Longtime NPR correspondent Frank Stasio was named permanent host of The State of Things in June 2006. A native of Buffalo, Frank has been in radio since the age of 19. He began his public radio career at WOI in Ames, Iowa, where he was a magazine show anchor and the station's News Director.
