The youngest member of America’s first family of jazz, Jason Marsalis is an accomplished vibraphonist, composer, performer and bandleader, who makes his own mark with his fiery and passionate talents.

Like his father and brothers, Jason simultaneously takes his gifts in new directions while paying homage to the great traditions of his New Orleans hometown and the masters who influenced him. Downbeat gave his latest live quartet album four stars calling him “an irrepressible force.”
