Jazz Man's Journey

by D. Antoinette Handy

"The strong jazz tradition that permeates the culture of New Orleans has provided the world with many great musicians and performers. Included in this list is the patriarch of an extremely well-known and well-respected family of jazz musicians: Ellis Louis Marsalis Jr."--BOOK JACKET. "Complete with a discography, dozens of photos from Marsalis's private collection and a list of Marsalis "profundities," this book is an important addition to jazz studies. It is also an enjoyable read for jazz scholars and casual fans alike."--BOOK JACKET.
