New Orleans native and NEA Jazz Master Branford Marsalis got his professional start with Clark Terry and brother Wynton Marsalis in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. In 1986 Branford formed the Branford Marsalis Quartet, adding guest vocalist Kurt Elling. Their first album, Upward Spiral, was nominated for a 2017 Grammy. After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Marsalis partnered with Harry Connick Jr. to found the Musicians’ Village in New Orleans—a place where artists could work to preserve and reconstruct their beloved community.
At 6:45pm, join us for a pre-show talk with Branford Marsalis and Loren Schoenberg, Senior Scholar of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.
