Celebrate the life and legacy of Ellis Marsalis, the legendary pianist, composer, and educator who helped shape modern New Orleans Jazz. This special tribute features a few of his most accomplished protégés — Jason Marsalis, Jon Cowherd, and Victor Goines.  Jason Marsalis, the youngest of the Marsalis brothers, is a virtuosic drummer and vibraphonist whose inventive style bridges New Orleans tradition and modern jazz. Victor Goines, acclaimed saxophonist, clarinetist, and former President & CEO of Jazz St. Louis, is known for his soulful tone and masterful improvisation as a longtime member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.  Jon Cowherd is a true “musician’s musician,” best known for co-founding the Grammy-nominated Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band with Brian Blade, and admired for his versatility as a keyboardist, composer, and musical director. Raised in Kentucky and shaped by New Orleans, his path was transformed after hearing Ellis Marsalis, inspiring his lifelong pursuit of jazz excellence. Together, they honor Ellis Marsalis’ enduring influence as a  musical visionary.
