Duke Performances

Three-time Grammy winner Branford Marsalis joins dP for a special Listening Session. Among the most important jazz artists working today, Marsalis will play recordings of music that influences, interests, and inspires him. This Listening Session is a chance to get an intimate look at a superb musician. Marsalis may not select any recordings that relate to his performances at Duke, but everything he selects will reveal more about who he as an artist.

Marsalis and his quartet will play two nights in Duke's Reynolds Theater on Friday and Saturday, January 13 & 14.

“Compulsively loud, fast, aggressive, elaborate, generous and interactive. In other words … extremely good.”
—Ben Ratliff, NY Times

Please note that Branford Marsalis will not be performing. He will play recordings of music—other artists' or his own—and will discuss why he selected those recordings.
