> * CHOCOLATE GENIUS *
> featuring MARC RIBOT +
>JOHN MEDESKI & CHRIS WOOD OF (MEDESKI, MARTIN AND WOOD)
CHOCOLATE GENIUS is the brain child of singer / songwriter
Marc Anthony Thompson. His debut ³BLACK MUSIC² is strong and
beautiful in its smokey ballads and haunting rock. As a
composer he stands to bridge the gap as the link between
Tom Waits and Tricky. Chocolate Genius challenges the audience
and questions the boundaries of musical genres and styles.
³Not many people could get away with calling themselves
Chocolate Genius. Then again, not many people are blessed
with the multi-culti fluidity expressed by Marc
Anthony Thompson.² - Seconds Magazine
Shine 285 West Broadway @ Canal - NYC
