The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, has been a cornerstone of the jazz world for nearly four decades. Known for uncompromising interpretations of both original compositions and jazz classics, the quartet has garnered critical acclaim and numerous accolades, including six Grammy nominations and one Grammy win. Its dynamic performances and innovative approach have solidified its reputation as one of the premier jazz ensembles of our time.
Branford Marsalis continues to thrill audiences around the world while racking up achievements across diverse musical platforms, even after four decades in the international spotlight.
From his initial recognition as a young jazz lion, he has expanded his vision as an instrumentalist, composer, bandleader and educator, crossing stylistic boundaries while maintaining an unwavering creative integrity. In the process, he has become an avatar of contemporary artistic excellence winning three Grammy Awards, a Tony nomination for his work as a composer on Broadway, a citation by the National Endowment for the Arts as Jazz Master, and a 2021 Primetime EMMY nomination for the score he composed for the Tulsa Burning documentary.
