Branford Marsalis Quartet

A must-see performance for jazz lovers, and an excellent introduction to the form for the jazz-curious.

One of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music for over four decades, three-time Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis returns to The Purchase PAC with the Branford Marsalis Quartet. Known for the telepathic communication among its uncommonly consistent personnel, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of original compositions alongside jazz and popular classics.

About the Artist

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.
