Music producer G. Marq Roswell returned to Ardent Studios and Memphis to finish tracking and mixing music for the upcoming Denzel Washington film "The Great Debaters."

Sharon Jones stepped up to the mic, Jeff Powell (Afghan Whigs, Big Star, Tonic) engineered and coordinated the players. Included in these are some of Memphis' finest: Steve Potts (drums), Dave Smith (bass), Lester Snell (keyboards), Susan Marshall and Jackie Johnson (backing vocals). The Angelic Voices of Faith gospel choir nearly ripped the roof off of Studio A...WOW! Jason Gillespie and Jonathan "Stump" Sterling assisted on the project.
