JASON MARSALIS | FRI, SAT & SUN JUNE 21, 22 & 23 | SHOWTIMES VARY
June 21, 2024 until June 23, 2024
Jason Marsalis is the youngest member of the illustrious Marsalis clan, but his accomplishments would make fitting laurels for an octogenarian. A drummer who established his career on the red-hot New Orleans jazz scene, he spent more than a decade in the Marcus Roberts Trio.
In recent years he’s concentrated on the vibraphone, launching the beautifully calibrated Vibes Quartet, whose 2020 Basin Street release Live focuses on Marsalis’s finely wrought originals, which often employ tricky time signatures and intricately lapidary textures. While the quartet plays with the dynamic control and precision of a chamber ensemble, the band’s bluesy authority and improvisational firepower leave no doubt why Marsalis was named an NEA Jazz Master along with his father Ellis and his brothers Branford, Wynton, and Delfeayo.
