A modern-jazz innovator in New Orleans during the mid-1950’s, Marsalis created a movement with his collective American Jazz Quintet and became a renowned teacher to the next generation of jazz musicians, including today’s prolific artists like Terence Blanchard and Harry Connick Jr. – not to mention all of those Marsalis boys.

“One of the premier pianists in modern jazz and patriarch of the talented Marsalis family.” – eJazz News
