Delfeayo Marsalis & the Stanford Jazz Workshop Sextet
Online: “…there's another Marsalis who may be on the verge of attaining wide recognition: trombonist Delfeayo, (who) ranks among the more accomplished jazz instrumentalists today...lacing particular emphasis on swing rhythm and robust-but-accessible solos.” – Chicago Tribune From New Orleans, trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis is
the third youngest member of the renowned Marsalis family. A graduate
of the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts as well as Berklee College
of Music, Delfeayo first established himself as a producer, working with
artists such as Terence Blanchard, Harry Connick Jr. and Nicholas Payton
(as well as brothers Branford & Wynton). As an instrumentalist and
session player, he earned numerous credits recording and touring with
Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Slide Hampton & Max Roach, and his compositions
have been featured in television, film and theatrical productions. A
frequent clinician and lecturer, he founded the Uptown Music Theatre
in 1997 to provide 8-12th grade youth with training and performance opportunities.
Most recently, Marsalis led a tribute to Louis Armstrong at the Minnesota
Orchestra Hall that included new arrangements written by Delfeayo,
as well as performances of Armstrong’s own charts. Marsalis’ Stanford
Jazz concert program will be a mix of mainstream jazz and standards,
augmented by original songs contributed by several members of the ensemble. |
