Ellis Marsalis was 'a true legend'
A multi-talented artist, Marsalis became the first chair of the now-storied jazz studies program at the University of New Orleans in 1989 and his name adorns the Ellis Marsalis Center, a nonprofit music and performing arts facility in New Orleans’ 9th Ward.
However, it was tutelage of his six sons -- Branford, Wynton, Ellis III, Delfeayo, Mboya Kenyatta and Jason -- that earned him the title of patriarch of the First Family of Jazz. Ellis Marsalis was"a legend,” the city’s mayor LaToya Cantrell remarked. “He was the prototype of what we mean when we talk about New Orleans jazz.”He was the patriarch of such an influential musical family. Thank you, Ellis Marsalis
