Branford Marsalis & Joey Calderazzo Duo

Join us for an intimate evening with NEA Jazz Master, renowned Grammy® Award-winning saxophonist and Tony Award® nominee Branford Marsalis and his Quartet’s longtime pianist Joey Calderazzo. The two have mesmerized audiences with their passionate and profound collaboration since they took the stage together at the Newport Jazz Festival in 2009, ultimately leading to their spectacular duo collaboration album Songs of Mirth and Melancholy. Through intricate interplay between the piano
and saxophone, discover Marsalis and Calderazzo’s ever-deepening relationship through unexpected twists that take cues from the music
of 19th-Century Europe.

“Marsalis and Calderazzo sound classical in the best jazz sense: handsome melodies creating beauty and lots of free space for interaction.”
Philadelphia Inquirer

“They exhibited such comfort that they always played in perfect lockstep…the connection between the two shone
through in the music…”
