Marsalis Music continues its limited edition Honors Series with a focus on the diverse styles encompassed by the vast tradition of New Orleans.
'Marsalis Music Honors Bob French' places drummer and traditional jazz stalwart Bob French at the head of a band where some of the city's favorite sons (including Harry Connick, Jr. and producer Branford Marsalis) and new stars Kid Chocolate and Trombone Shorty enliven eleven jazz classics.
The Honors Series has received a number of accolades (including a 10-Best pick in The New Yorker) for its focus on veteran artists who have not received their due in multi-generational ensembles.
