From New Orleans' first family of jazz, drum wonderkid Jason Marsalis will perform with the Irvin Mayfield Quartet at The Clay Pit on September 15. Now considered "on the brink of reknown" by Bill Milkowski of Modern Drummer Magazine, Marsalis began his recording career earlier than most, so much so, that by the age of 20, he had performed on more than a dozen albums, including projects by his father Ellis Marsalis and the acclaimed pianist Marcus Roberts. His latest release, Los Hombres Calientes Project, is not only critically well received but also establishes his potential as one of the most influential drummers in jazz.
