NEA Jazz Master & GRAMMY® Award-Winning Jazz Producer, Composer &
Trombonist DELFEAYO MARSALIS & THE UPTOWN JAZZ ORCHESTRA are one
of the best Big Band Jazz Ensembles in the world today.
Delfeayo Marsalis is one of the top Trombonists, Composers & Producers in Jazz.
In 2008, Delfeayo formed the Uptown Jazz Orchestra, a highly entertaining ensemble
that focuses on maintaining important jazz traditions such as New Orleans polyphony &
spontaneous arrangements.
”One attribute is a percolating rhythmic palette — relentless funk and gospel grooves,
ebullient second-line syncopations, Afro-Caribbean-flavored street beats, undulating
old-school press rolls, the distinctive flow of nouveau swing. Then there’s the
breathe-as-one synchronicity of the woodwind and brass sections honed during more
than a decade of Wednesday gigs at the eminent New Orleans nightclub Snug Harbor,”

states DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE.

to enliven the ensembles of such influential and demanding
improvisers as pianist Ahmad Jamal and trumpeter
Wynton Marsalis through his commanding yet elegant rhythmic
presence.
His authoritative style of melodic percussion is deeply imbued

it does the entire length and breadth of America’s ongoing
musical journey.
