Marchel meant so much to the Dallas jazz scene. He was one that could have easily lived in a place where jazz is more appreciated but chose to share his gift here in the area. Ivery played with such fire and respect for the idoim. He made us all want to be better. He personified humility, fun, and caring every time I was around him or on the phone. Play on Brotha!
