Ellis Marsalis Remembered: Family Memories & Music With Branford, Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis Ellis Marsalis Remembered: Family Memories & Music With Branford, Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis March 29th, 2023 (Hour 1)
Ellis Marsalis Remembered: Family Memories & Music With Branford, Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis

There is no more recognizable family name in jazz from New Orleans and beyond than: Marsalis. We’re paying tribute to the late pianist Ellis Marsalis Jr. who passed of Covid-19 in April 2020, and to his musical sons Branford (saxophone), Wynton (trumpet), Delfeayo (trombone) and Jason (drums and vibraphone). The conversation ranges from coming of age in a family of musicians, with expectations of performing at the highest level, to the interplay of traditional and modern jazz in New Orleans. Previously unheard are Wynton’s remarkable memorial oration and a live set with youngest son Jason Marsalis playing the music of his late father. It’s the enduring and thriving musical legacy of the Marsalis family this week on American Routes.
