“Part cabaret, part cabinet of curiosities, Carytown's Révéler is charmingly idiosyncratic... The deeper you go... the weirder it gets. The wildly eclectic lineup of events veers across genres.” - STYLE WEEKLY
Jason Marsalis the son of pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis and his wife Dolores, and the youngest sibling of Wynton, Branford and Delfeayo. Jason is well known for his prodigal drumming. Working with his father’s group, as well as the great pianist Marcus Roberts, he has fine-tuned his playing in two of the most demanding trio settings in modern jazz. However, with the release of 2013’s “In A World of Mallets”, and his recognition as the 2013 rising star winner in the Downbeat Magazine annual critics poll, listeners are now recognizing Jason for his unique sound on the vibraphones.
This unique and rare masterclass will explore Jason's approaches to percussion techniques, collaboration, and improvisation, as well as lessons learned in a family of jazz legends.
With only 50 seats, this class at Révéler is intimate and immersive.
