The performance on May 23 has been dubbed the “Clean Air Festival” starring Delfeayo Marsalis of the famously talented Marsalis clan of professional musicians. Marsalis has been labeled one of the freshest modern voices on the trombone to arrive in the ‘90s. He has toured internationally with legendary jazz artists Art Blakely, Abdullah Ibrahim, Elvin Jones, Slide Hampton and Max Roach as well as with his own modern jazz ensemble. In addition to the concert, environmental organizations will present information, clean green vehicles and plenty of surprises.
