Thank you for this treasure... My heart and mind goes out to the entire Marsalis family in this great loss to the Jazz world. Ellis was a national treasure that many of us did not spend enough time with. He is a jazz patriarch that inspired his sons to greatness! Life just got that much harder knowing that I lost the opportunity to meet Ellis. The first time I heard him play was on the album Joe Cool Blues... I wore that CD out... The family recordings also come to mind... wow what a legacy!
Indeed a great treasure! Thank you very much for doing and sharing this interview! Funny that they kept the french word "patois" in Louisiana. This word refers to the broken french french people (leaving mostly in the country side) spoke (almost a century ago). Very few are still trying to keep this "patois" alive in France (ruclips.net/video/4B0N9Pv_-1E/видео.html). Although, it may differ from the "patois" used in Louisiana.
From my sister, Laura Mazel: Sad. I remember listening to you play with him at the Jazz and Heritage Festival and Wynton was 16 and I was 14! and my reply: Yes. I remember too. The two brothers and dad, all on stage together with me with that kooky Alligator theme. Ma got a couple of memorable photos. Sad. Ellis had a great musical life. Got to play with him often when I lived in NOLA. He really was a mensch, a wonderful mentor… Very fortunate. BTW, harp guitarist Phil DeGruy played live streaming from the Sidebar last night. Remember, he took us there to see wonderful drummer Johnny Vidacovich (facebook.com/neworleansdrummer/) after cooking for us? It is still up on the Side Bar’s website www.sidebarnola.com/. I think he filmed it from his apartment across from City Park. In response to the sad news of musician Ellis Marsalis's death, it is good to remember what he and his sons stand for. “Something Essential to Being Human is Education.” -Wynton Marsalis On my website. www.mazelmusicalarts.org/AGM%20Snippets.html LY, G

Patriarch Ellis Marsalis Jr had such a wonderful & sharp memory. God rest his soul❤️
Thank you for establishing the foundation of jazz music.
