RIP Ellis Jr. You were a great dad, teacher, and musician.

[@AndSendMe]

I just heard. What you said exactly.

[@scumber56]

When your dad is one of the smoothest piano players, ever.

[@paulbehrend8819]

Ellis... with us always. Thank you, kind sir, I was so very lucky to have met you all those many years ago and to be blessed by your eloquence ever since... your selfless presence as a lifelong learner and teacher stands as a bastion for all. Rest in power.

[@doduyle8476]

What a family, full of music geniuses

[@piano.music88]

many years ago, after watching a documentary on the old man Marsalis and his 2 young sons, especially Wynton, i decided to start playing trumpet. The best decision of my life, I am so grateful for these soulful musicians.

[@peterhofman7188]

I think you meant Especially Branford, give him the respect, after all he is Older!

[@piano.music88]

@@peterhofman7188 bro, Branford plays sax. You missed the whole point of my comment.

[@tnleverett]

@@piano.music88 I got it! Lol

[@reptileinterested]

Rest In Peace Ellis Marsalis Jr.

[@paulturner6334]

Beautiful,thank you Mr. Marsalis,for your incredible family.

[@yggdrasil9039]

Gorgeous playing. RIP

[@NjonjoNdehi]

Had a blast watching Branford with my wife and kids at the Safaricom International Jazz Festival in Nairobi, Kenya on 21-Feb-16.

[@rengevid]

The Greatest R.I.P. Pops, we shall always love you!

[@yebouti]

This is fabulous! Branford has the raised bar on soprano--I love it.

[@sasorikakuzu4655]

Rest in Prosperity great musicians of new and old, Sir Ellis, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie,Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker. The Souls of Soul Never Die❤️ 🎼 🎶 🎵 🎷 🎺 🎹 🎸

[@thatsthewayoftheworldstage]

Awesome, Branford. I do miss my dad.

[@Tony-ws4rq]

Ellis is a great father, an example of what a father should be :)

[@MrChady1]

*Tony* how do you know that?

[@Tony-ws4rq]

Because i look at the quality of what he has produced, all decent, well spoken, honorable young men, playing music on a high level, no filth, nothing vulgar, they never use that disgusting N word, Ellis is a great example of what a father should produce, i look at all the sons, high quality musicians and high quality men. That speaks volumes of his character, and his intelligence, he has done a great job, and anyone that cant it, is blind :)

[@MrChady1]

*Tony* nah man. The only way you can qualify that statement is if you have some intimate knowledge of their relationship. You can't speak to his example without knowing what he did. Not saying he's a bad person but cant say he's a good one either cause we just don't know.

[@Tony-ws4rq]

Its easy to see the influence he has had on his sons, all of them present themselves as decent, intelligent, and strong men, plus they are all great musicians, that takes, skill, dedication, and quite a bit of intelligence, what is it that you are not seeing, in this day and age where this society rewards stupidity and filth, they are just the opposite, this man is an educator, and a good man, i can see it from miles away

[@jacquesdeghorain3162]

" Tony " Ellis très probablement eu une influence positive sur ses enfants : c'est facile à deviner . Il a été un papa "responsable" et il a fait du très bon travail pour tous . Mais avant tout , je crois que toute cette famille a , d'une manière hériditaire , la musique dans le sang . Je crois que c'est sûr et certain . Je suis complètement d'accord avec vous . Mais je ne crois pas que notre société récompense la bêtise : elle ne s'y intéresse même pas , et c'est encore plus grave . Cette société ne s'intéresse plus qu'à une seule chose : l'argent , l'argent , et par tous les moyens possibles pour l'obtenir........La majorité des gens a perdu le " sens moral " de la vie et les artistes sont parmi les derniers à essayer de résister . Merci à eux !! ( opinion personnelle qui n'engage que moi )

[@MusicTeacherMcGorry]

RIP Ellis Marsalis

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Voila soprano saxophone sound-voice shrouded in Organic Real Jazz exuberance from the very womb-soil of New Orleans. Smoothly articulate performance of Ellis the patriarch on piano. Ellis has got to be the musically proud and contented father! Branford [saxes], Wynton [trumpet], Delfeayo [trombone/producer/journalist] and Jason [drums] do elevate his spirits - the father's. Have I missed a boy? A girl? Is there any girl offspring? Thanks.

[@noacastillo9608]

I'm a weird person who prefers classical music on soprano sax more than jazz or blues. But this song is now my favourite song. I like your sop sax tone on blues music. Thanks for sharing this!

[@Birdieladie47]

Such a wonderful song! My dad named me after this, his favorite song!

[@noacastillo9608]

@@Birdieladie47 Aww that's lovely! Did your dad listen to Nat King Cole's version? coz he sang this beautifully. I'm only 19 but I truly love Jazz music or any music from back in the days :)

[@aubreycamachomd5717]

Many years ago I purchased one of Mr. Marsalis's album and was pleasantly surprised about everything about the playing and what I was hearing. Then Branford made the cut for a duet and then everything after was "gravy".

💐🌱😊🌾💚

[@Giiliolimbani]

anyone knows wich soprano us Marsalis on the video ?

[@peterhofman7188]

For some reason I think it could be a Cannonball Soprano ,However I could be wrong Maybe a Selmer , Yamaha or Yanagisawa perhaps

[@threesixty2408]

sounds like a clarinet

[@brotherrabbit8539]

or a soprano

[@leobrahmachari6611]

You sound like not a clarinetist

[@eljheids1115]

C'MON, LET'S GIVE A TRY TO SAXOPHONE SOME SONGS OF SARAH BRIGHTMAN!!! GIVE A TRY TO CONVERT HER SINGING VOICE INTO BLOWING SOUND OF SAXOPHONE!!!

[@josephjohnson345]

16 thumbs down? Y'all must be jealous! 😂

[@charlesbarry6730]

Compares favourably with Stan Getz's tenor saxophone version.

[@liseernie]

too bad about the people taking flash photos, here... so distracting...

[@n.nidranrebreski3148]

I've heard better Brandford's. Guy, what was your drink that night?

[@andrewmiller5610]

No, what are you drinking

[@zzausel]

This is not what Branford is famous for. I couldn't relax. I prefer my records. Ok, we are human.

[@omarhussein5650]

He's a much better soprano then tenor

[@Jazzmarcel]

Omar Hussein oh yeah?.......well sir what can you play? he is a world class musician on both tenor and soprano!

[@isaaacsalama8814]

Nonse!!!!... Go and find his version of a love supreme (John Coltrane).. And you apologies will be accepted!!!! 😁

[@jacquesdeghorain3162]

Je suis désolé de ne pas aimer Branford au soprano ; Tout me semble heurté , haché , passé à la moulinette ce qui , à mon humble avis , détruit la belle mélodie normalement douce et enveloppante de "Sweet Lorraine " Ajoutons à cela que je n'aime pas la sonorité que Branford impose à son saxo et vous aurez compris ... Malgré toutes les qualités qu'on peut très justement attribuer aux Marsalis , Branford est celui que j'apprécie le moins , surtout quand on compare son jeu avec celui très sensible de Delfeayo au trombone . Aucune sensibilité ici , au saxo . Et pourtant , les saxophones se prêtent très bien au jeu des musiciens sensibles et délicats . Rien du tout à voir avec le style de jeu de Stan Getz , comme le pense Charles .

[@Jazzmarcel]

jacques deghorain bon, vous avez fois de aimé qui tu veux mais, vous jouer quoi comme instrument?........voila! Beaucoup du monde pense Branford est un très bon saxophoniste!

[@edwarddesenne6153]

Chacun a son avis , mais moi, je joue le meme saxo soprano Selmer que Branford avec un bec et hanche de presque la meme dimension depuis 1980 et dans cet enregistrement sa sonorite ressemble a Stan Getz au tenor , mais tout deux savent aussi s‘exprimer dans d‘autres styles differents. . Votre mention du tromboniste ,qui, peut etre exemplifie le jeu de Sidney Bechet sur cette composition montre qu‘il n‘y a pas necessairement qu‘une meilleure facon de la jouer!

[@jean-marchoang8026]

Je crois que là Branford recherchait un style un peu "nu" et vintage d'autant plus qu'il joue un sax ancien l'avez-vous écouté en compagnie de Sting ? et dites-moi si vous trouvez toujours son style "heurté"..

[@sirvidia]

Branford's tone is not great here IMO

[@espr7564]

Hmmm soprano tone not too cool, get a better horn man 👎

[@brotherrabbit8539]

Go back to Kenny G

[@GARRY3754]

You may need a better ear.

[@claudiarovan9276]

It's only a family's good Time and tendress between them and joy to play together. It's no important how is the tone of instrument
