Jason Marsalis was born in New Orleans, LA on March 4, 1977. He was the sixth son of Ellis and Dolores Marsalis and the fourth son, after Branford, Wynton, and Delfeayo, to pursue music. During his senior year in high school in 1994, Marsalis ascended to the drum throne of a new group lead by virtuoso pianist and former sideman for Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts.
While Marsalis made appearances with such international jazz luminaries as Joe Henderson and Lionel Hampton, he was visible on the New Orleans scene working with a diverse cross section of bands from Casa Samba (Brazilian), Neslort (jazz fusion) Summer Stages (childrenâs theater), Dr. Michael White (traditional jazz) and many others. It was in 1998 that he cofounded the Latin-jazz group Los Hombres Calientes. In recent years, Jason has worked more with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Heâs recorded three albums, âThe Ever Fonky Lowdownâ, âA Swinginâ Sesame Street Celebrationâ, the latter also being a TV special, and âSwing Symphonyâ with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Robertson. Marsalis is currently teaching adjunct at the John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University in New Jersey.
