Jason Marsalis at the Marigny Opera House

We are thrilled to present Jason Marsalis performing a solo drum set. Marsalis tours the world, appears on television, receives rave reviews at this year’s Jazz & Heritage Festival and beyond. With a fire in his heart and a passion for the music, his will to swing has never been more resolute. The sense of style and tastefulness that Marsalis exhibits in his playing explains why is a highly sought after musician.
