“Patriarch of the famed ‘First Family of Jazz,’ Ellis Marsalis was a master jazz pianist, composer and educator. This intimate documentary delves into the life and career of this music icon, sprinkled with historical tidbits about his beloved hometown of New Orleans, and footage of his final live performances. Anecdotes from sons Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo, Ellis III, Jason, and actor Wendell Pierce, round out the story as Ellis recounts for us the story of his illustrious life.” ~ Karen McMullen on DOC.nyc
