And while we're at it since we're talking about Wynton lemme throw in his two brothers and his father.
They're all accomplished musicians as well !

Ellis Marsalis :


Branford Marsalis :


Jason Marsalis:


Some people in the Jazz world lament the Marsalis family and their traditional leanings
claiming that the antiquity in their music might push along fossilization of Jazz music
but personally I still think "Old" stuff can sound GREAT. Even then all three
brother (Branfrod, Wynton and Jason...) have moved away from being strictly traditional.
shyt was nice but those short tracks were irritating, just when I was getting into it they vanished :francis:.

I need to get into some new jazz, I'm strictly a late 50s to early 70s person.
:myman:
You came to the right thread breh, I'm hoping to put brehs onto musicians I've learned of that are
both young and old but are still performing or creating Jazz because I feel they don't get enough
love. However if someone who is no longer with us isn't getting a mention in here don't hesitate to
drop them ! The same goes for any Jazz musicians that you like who are still living.

Another Brass GAWD
Marcus Strickland
Absolutely fantastic player and the best apart is his more
recent releases incorporate Hip-Hop much like Christian Scott and Robert Glasper.






This isn't his whole discography but these two albums are piff.
:blessed:
I still have more to check out from him but I had to let me brehs know the deal.
