I once had the privilege, while a student at Alabama A&M University, of attending a master class by this great artist. Needless to say, it was one of my favorite moments in school. Rest in power to this Jazz Giant.

I used to see Mr. Marsalis every year on my pilgrimage to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. One year, I discovered that he was playing a concert at the University of New Orleans. And although, I arrived shortly before the concert began, and the small venue was packed with people, there was one table left unoccupied directly beside the piano. The table was so close to the piano that I could have reached out and touched him. What a remarkable night of brilliant music. Proof that miracles happen all the time.
RIP to one of the most swinging and tasteful jazz pianists to ever walk the Earth. I hope you’re playing endless gigs up there with the other giants that have left us. Much love and respect.
This is the music that makes your soul connect to everything good. The atmosphere becomes refreshing and clean. Mr Marsalis you really showed up to this earth with a mission. Mission accomplished sir. Thank you for making life more liveable. Rest in the power of love, light, peace, and music...♥️ Darlene Tellis
I've come to this video countless times over the years because Spotify was never wise enough to add this beautiful album to their collection. Maybe someday I'll actually go out and buy the album off Amazon instead of coming to RUclips like a cheap prick.
Sono stato sempre il peggiore dei tuoi allievi, Ellis, nei seminari ad Innsbruck. Ma ricorderò sempre che mi hai sempre voluto al tuo tavolo, a cena, unico studente, nella serata con gli organizzatori dei seminari. R. I. P. Great man.
O Lord, Ellis's music has got everybody on his soul journey! I'm saying a prayer tonight to help bring him home, just so he can smile at an old Irish guy and say, 'I hear you brother, see you soon!' What a gifted family! And Ellis and his glorious wife had something to do with that....
RIP to Mr. Ellis Marsalis-- a loving father and husband, master jazz musician, esteemed educator, mentor, and stellar Marine. Thanks for a lifetime of excellence and for nurturing the talents of your incredible sons. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten. Semper Fi, Sir.
Ellis, I wish I knew how to thank you or salute you for that choice of the high note at 2:06. Most of the most brilliant jazz minds would likely have started the run on that measure a full note lower. That note choice is legendary. And it's not the first note of the measure anyway. There's a skip first. THAT is flocking genius too.
I know. It's just one note. Not even a full beat. But in jazz and in art you have to pay deep attention to many small details. The brilliance of those small details - and the obsessive compulsive insistence of a great composer to persist and toil until he finds that tiny slice of perfection - that's really what it's all about. It's why I'm listening to Ellis's amazing Blue Note album to begin with. This is one of a multitude of details small and large that make me go "wow" about this exceptional piece of work. I would bet Bill and McCoy would be proud to have produced such brilliant music as this album.
EDWARD G.y - I don’t play, but I listened almost entirely to jazz in the early 1960s, when everyone else listened only to Rock-n-Roll. Nothing wrong with that.
JAZZ is my religion and it alone do I dig the jazz clubs are my houses f worship and sometimes the concert halls but some holy places are too commercial (like churches) so I don’t dig the sermons there I buy jazz sides to dig in solitude Like man/Harlem, Harlem U.S.A. used used to be a jazz heaven where most of the jazz sermons were preached but now-a-days due to chacha cha and rotten rock ‘n’roll alotta good jazzmen have sold their souls but jazz is still my religion because I know and feel the message it brings like reverend Dizzy Gillespie/Brother Bird and Basie/Uncle Armstrong/Minister Monk/ Deacon Miles Davis/ Rector Rollins/ Priest Ellington/ His funkness Horace Silver/ and the great Pope John, John COLTRANE and Cecil Taylor They Preach A Sermon That Always Swings!! Yeah jazz is MY religion Jazz is my story it was my mom’s and pop’s and their moms and pops from the days of Buddy Bolton who swung them blues to Charlie Parker and Ornette Coleman’s extension of Bebop Yeah jazz is my religion Jazz is unique musical religion the sermons spread happiness and joy to be able to dig and swing inside what a wonderful feeling jazz is/YEAH BOY!! JAZZ is my religion and dig this: it wasn’t for us to choose because they created it for a damn good reason as a weapon to battle our blues!JAZZ is my religion and its international all the way JAZZ is just an Afroamerican music and like us its here to stay So remember that JAZZ is my religion but it can be your religion too but JAZZ is a truth that is always black and blue Hallelujah I love JAZZ so Hallelujah I dig JAZZ so Yeah JAZZ IS MY RELIGION…….

This Blue Note album is SO extraordinarily excellent in EACH CUT that it is painful to pick a favorite. At any rate, I provided a link to each song in another comment, so you can furtively attempt to pick your own favorites.
Why not add "uplifting" and "inspirational" to your excellent descriptors ... there aren't enough words to describe this trio ... If there is a heaven they will play his music.
Beautifully played, and embodied, we are enriched by the timeless treasure of his musicianship and Jazz legacy installed.*Rest in Progress* Maestro Ellis Marsalis. #givepraisetolife
He died of old age, but it is sad. I lost another friend and great jazz figure to pneumonia. Protect your immune system and hope you never contract pneumonia.
Recien me entere de su fallecimiento, que triste,tenia la ilusión de viajar a Estados Unidos y poder presenciar un shows de esta leyenda del jazz, que tristeza no poder hacerlo. 😢
My favorite jazz pianist of all time. I actually was fortunate enough to see him perform. And what a gracious gentleman.
so was I. IN New Orleans. He shook everyone's hand as they left.

Awsom! Like some of the best ever. I like Red Garland and now Ellis M.
People say that I am weird to play and listen to jazz at my age (18) . Jazz is life
I love the fact that you, at age 18 listen to Jazz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all the best :-)
People are stupid.
EDWARD G.y - I don’t play, but I listened almost entirely to jazz in the early 1960s, when everyone else listened only to Rock-n-Roll. Nothing wrong with that.
It's ok to like what you like, and love what you love!
JAZZ is my religion and it alone do I dig the jazz
clubs are my houses f worship and sometimes the concert halls
but some
holy places are too commercial (like churches) so I
don’t dig the
sermons there I buy jazz sides to dig in solitude Like
man/Harlem,
Harlem U.S.A. used used to be a jazz heaven where most of
the jazz
sermons were preached but now-a-days due to chacha
cha and
rotten rock ‘n’roll alotta good jazzmen have sold their
souls but jazz
is still my religion because I know and feel the message
it brings
like reverend Dizzy Gillespie/Brother Bird and
Basie/Uncle
Armstrong/Minister Monk/ Deacon Miles Davis/ Rector
Rollins/
Priest Ellington/ His funkness Horace Silver/ and the great
Pope
John, John COLTRANE and Cecil Taylor They
Preach A Sermon
That Always Swings!!
Yeah jazz is MY religion Jazz
is my story
it was my mom’s and pop’s and their moms and pops
from the days of Buddy Bolton who swung them blues to Charlie
Parker and
Ornette Coleman’s extension of Bebop Yeah jazz is my
religion
Jazz is unique musical religion the sermons spread
happiness and
joy to be able to dig and swing inside what a
wonderful feeling
jazz is/YEAH BOY!! JAZZ is my religion and dig this:
it wasn’t for
us to choose because they created it for a damn good
reason as a
weapon to battle our blues!JAZZ is my religion and its
international all the way JAZZ is just an Afroamerican
music
and like us its here to stay So remember that JAZZ is
my religion
but it can be your religion too but JAZZ is a truth that is
always
black and blue Hallelujah I love JAZZ so Hallelujah I
dig JAZZ so
Yeah JAZZ IS MY RELIGION…….

Got to know him after his death, just now. This is Amaaazing shit rigth here

Amo ouvir esse CD a noite.E um verdadeiro bálsamo!
What a sad passing away of such a wonderful pianist as a result of a dammed virus; it's a shame. I love Ellis's artistry. May he rest in peace
He died of old age, but it is sad. I lost another friend and great jazz figure to pneumonia. Protect your immune system and hope you never contract pneumonia.
Descanse en Paz uno de los más grandes del Jazz!
It's a rainy Sunday afternoon here and this music is perfect.
Tremendo disco, para ser el miembro central del clan Marsalis, Ellis es bastante infravalorado.
Rip Maestro ❤️
Lil Boy man (32:17) has been my favorite ever since this CD came out.
Optimal elegance, everything on this recording is well stated.
Recien me entere de su fallecimiento, que triste,tenia la ilusión de viajar a Estados Unidos y poder presenciar un shows de esta leyenda del jazz, que tristeza no poder hacerlo. 😢
is perfect !!!
spectacular from Atlanta
Hermosa música, no se como puede tener tan pocas visitas!!! :D
Rest In Peace and Harmony ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing!
Happy Birthday Ellis
Excellence.

I saw him live at Snug Harbor a long time ago.
He played there regularly and was always absolutely terrific. R.I.P., Ellis.

Rest in peace.
RIP

Damien Tung is right about this.
Ellis está acompañado por Bob Hurst al bajo y Jeff Watts en la batería. Se comete una injusticia cuando no se mencionan los músicos acompañantes.
