Vocalist Milton Suggs has been described by DownBeat as a "commanding jazz vocalist" with a "mellifluous baritone." A few years ago, Suggs was a piano student working on his master's degree at DePaul University when Wynton Marsalis heard him singing with the school's big band. Impressed, Marsalis encouraged Suggs to take his singing seriously. See why this 2010 alumnus of the Kennedy Center's Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead professional training program is making waves with his debut CD Things to Come (Skiptone Music).
