Delfeayo Marsalis

Keeping It Real ,

Old School!

Delfeayo and his stained-glass trombone are temporarily out of commission.

Dental surgery has him resting up and away from the stage. He'll be back in June, blowing harder than ever.

Crescent City Jewels Now Available!

The life of the city breathes through its hometown heroes, who Delfeayo Marsalis triumphantly celebrates on Crescent City Jewels, the latest album with his Uptown Jazz Orchestra.

Who is

Delfeayo?

Delfeayo is, in many ways, the most fun of the Marsalises. He's the family trombonist. And record producer.

And he seems to be the family wise guy too.

Following every jazz performance in our series each year we gauge the success by the amount of requests from our loyal subscribers to bring the artist or artists back. When Delfeayo and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra left the stage and the audience began exiting the amphitheater, I received more requests for their return than I had ever received before. They are exuberant and profoundly talented musicians who bring true joy to an audience.

...Both Delfeayo Marsalis’ New Orleans-based Uptown Jazz Orchestra’s cd releases… rank among the strongest big band discs of the past 10 years.

UJO...one of the top 10 best shows in our entire 23 year history. We were so impressed with their performance this year that they will return for our 25th anniversary season next year!
