The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County will present National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Jazz Master, Grammy Award-winner and Tony Award nominee Branford Marsalis and the Branford Marsalis Quartet on Friday, Mar. 3, 8 p.m., as part of its Jazz Roots concert series.
One of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music, Marsalis and his eponymous quartet will perform music from their vast catalogue, including their most recent Grammy-nominated album The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul in the Arsht Center’s Knight Concert Hall.
Tickets to Jazz Roots: An Evening with Branford Marsalis are $45, $55, $75 and $125 and may be purchased now at the Adrienne Arsht Center Box Office by calling 305-949-6722, or online at arshtcenter.org.
Jazz Roots is generously presented by EFG, with additional support from Baldwin Richardson Foods, Quint Family Foundation, Alan and Diane Lieberman and Steinway & Sons, the official piano of the Adrienne Arsht Center. WDNA 88.9 FM is a media sponsor.
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Award winner and Tony Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet.
After more than three decades, this celebrated ensemble — featuring saxophonist Marsalis, pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis (each with more than 20 years of service to the group) and drummer Justin Faulkner, who joined the group in 2009 — is revered for its uncompromising interpretations of original compositions and jazz and popular classics.
After the Grammy‐nominated Upward Spiral, on which guest vocalist Kurt Elling was seamlessly integrated into the group, the quartet followed up with the Grammy‐nominated 2019 album The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, its most emotionally wide‐ranging and melody-driven collection to date.
Arts Education Program
Jazz Roots: Sound Check, a part of the Jazz Roots series from its inception in 2008, welcomes high school students from Miami-Dade County Public Schools to the Knight Concert Hall for free sound checks, lectures and, on occasion, opportunities to perform with headline artists from the center’s Jazz Roots concert series. Participants also receive free admission to that evening’s Jazz Roots concert, provided free of charge by the Arsht Center.
Throughout the program’s history, students have participated with jazz legends such as Chris Botti, Chucho Valdés, Candy Dulfer, Aaron Neville and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band to name a few.
Jazz Roots: Sound Check is made possible in part by EFG; Baldwin Richardson Foods; Alan and Diane Lieberman; Green Family Foundation Trust; Quint Family Foundation; and Hazel Rosen.
