One of our favorite groups at the Jazz Festival on Friday, June 19 was John Ellis & Double-Wide. Ellis has played tenor saxophone in both New Orleans and New York, where he is currently based but for this gig, he teamed up with New Orleans Double -Wide musicians, one of whom is drummer, Jason Marsalis. Jason was a fascinating drummer to watch because during the music his posture was ram-rod straight, with none of the bending and swaying normally seen with drummers, but his expressive face reflected the emotional music.
A WONDERFUL WOW!!

ReplyDeleteI am a little puzzled about a jazz group choosing a name with "double wide" in it. I do not think of jazz and trailer parks going together.
Am I correct to assume Jason is part of the great Marsalis jazz family ? How fun this must have been.
