An NEA Jazz Master and Grammy Award winner\u2014and a Tony and Emmy Award nominee\u2014Marsalis is renowned for his versatility, moving effortlessly between symphony orchestra concertos and collaborations across genres. At the heart of his artistic legacy, however, is the Branford Marsalis Quartet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0; margin-right:0; text-align:left\">Formed in 1986, the Quartet\u2014featuring pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and drummer Justin Faulkner\u2014has remained remarkably consistent for nearly four decades. The ensemble is celebrated for its fearless, sophisticated interpretations of original works and jazz and popular classics alike. Following Grammy nominations for Upward Spiral\u00a0and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, the Quartet released Belonging\u00a0on Blue Note Records, further cementing its reputation as one of the most compelling and enduring ensembles in modern jazz.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud83c\udfad NEW!
