(Editor's note: The location of the Marcus Belgrave street signage changed after this story's initial posting. The signs are on John R at the corners of Madison and Center streets.)

Jazz great Marcus Belgrave will become the latest Detroit music figure to be memorialized in the city's theater district.

The late trumpeter will be honored with Marcus Belgrave Avenue, a ceremonial renaming of John R at Madison and Center streets — just down the block from Aretha Franklin Way and around the corner from a new Stevie Wonder mural gracing Music Hall.

The new signage, approved by Detroit City Council, will be unveiled at 1 p.m. Thursday, ahead of this weekend's Detroit Jazz Festival.

The street naming will be accompanied by a reissue of Belgrave's 1974 album, "Gemini II," released by Carl Craig's Planet E Records and sourced from the original analog tapes.

Belgrave died in 2015 after a long and storied career in Detroit and beyond, where his work ranged from Motown sessions to collaborations with an array of iconic jazz musicians.

His widow, Joan Belgrave, said the renaming campaign was a two-year effort. The street stretch is by the Carr Center, where the pair mentored young musicians.

"Keeping his 50+ years of love for the music and the city alive... always," she wrote on Facebook.

"I’m so proud that Marcus will have a street in his name," Craig said in a statement. "His legacy deserves this. Marcus is a prime example of how musicianship skills are sharpened in Detroit because Detroiters won’t accept anything less than musical excellence. When I think of musical excellence, Marcus’s smiling face dominates that whole thought. I’m so glad to have known the man and his horn and am happy and proud to be a part of this celebration."
