Delfeayo Marsalis & The Uptown Jazz Orchestra

“They fill every inch of the room with a joyous noise.” – PopMatters

Join Grammy Award-winner Delfeayo Marsalis and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra for an evening of non-stop fun. Time to throw up your hands, cut the king cake, and grab some beads as we celebrate New Orleans and the greatest time of year with songs by Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Earl King, Marsalis, and more. A member of The First Family of Jazz and an  NEA Jazz Master, the middle Marsalis brother leads the vibrant Uptown Jazz Orchestra from his seat in the trombone section, in a performance that is full of the joy and soul of NOLA.
