Delfeayo Marsalis has been on the jazz scene for a long time. He may have more notoriety due to his very successful tenure as a record producer. But he's been out there playing the trombone in various aggregations including a notable tenure with drumming icon Elvin Jones. He's had his own band through the years, but it seemed to get lost--sidetracked anyway--in the various things Marsalis had going on.
But all that's changed with his latest release, Minions Dominion and an emphatic push on his career as performer, composer and bandleader.
AAJ contributor RJ DeLuke spoke with Marsalis recently, who opened up about his career to date, how the instrument one plays is reflective of one's personality, and much, much more.
