About The Event
To kick-off our Fall 2022 Season of Jazz @ The Sandbar, Jason Marsalis presents The Music of Ellis Marsalis Jr, the late founder of the Jazz Studies program at the University of New Orleans's music department, a part of which the Jazz @ The Sandbar Wednesday series was created with partner NOJC:
From a tender young age it was clear that Jason Marsalis had what it took to be great. Jason is the son of pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis Jr and his wife Dolores, and the youngest sibling of Wynton, Branford and Delfeayo. Together, the four brothers and their patriarch Ellis, comprise New Orleans venerable first family of jazz. The sense of style and tastefulness that Marsalis exhibits in his playing explains why is a highly sought after musician. This style has been well documented on recordings with artists such as the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Marcus Printup and Marcus Roberts to name but a few.
Sets at 7:00pm and 8:30pm.
Admission is $10 at the door | All Ages
FREE for students & staff. Admission proceeds benefit the students of the Jazz Studies program at UNO.
