If the heart of American music lies in New Orleans, it’s certain that one of its arteries or ventricles passes with Ellis Marsalis, who died Wednesday (April 1) at 85 years old. He had been hospitalized in New Orleans for pneumonia-like symptoms over the weekend and was tested for the coronavirus but results aren’t yet available, according to a report from New Orleans’ WWL-TV.
“He was the prototype of what we mean when we talk about New Orleans jazz,” New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said in a statement. “He was a teacher, a father, and an icon -- and words aren’t sufficient to describe the art, the joy and the wonder he showed the world.”
Ellis Marsalis Jr. shared a name with his father, a prominent hotelier and civil rights activist in New Orleans, but it was the younger Ellis who would forever attach the Marsalises to the very core of jazz music. Beginning as a clarinetist while he was still in elementary school, Marsalis soon homed in on what would be his lifelong passion with a degree in music education from Dillard University.
