Recipient of the NEA’s prestigious Jazz Masters Award and an honorary doctorates from Dillard University and Ball State University, Ellis Marsalis is regarded by many as the premier modern jazz pianist in New Orleans. He is also recognized as one of the most renowned music educators in the U.S., imparting his extensive knowledge of jazz to students like Harry Connick Jr., Terence Blanchard, and his own four sons, each of whom has found international acclaim. The patriarch of the musical Marsalis family will share his love for music in every note he plays as he celebrates his 83rd birthday by performing in the Bitterroot Valley.
