 Marsalis Music
Marsalis Music was founded in 2002 when saxophonist Branford Marsalis recognized the need to form a label where a diverse array of musicians could document their best efforts free of the commercial pressures that have grown more and more prevalent in the music industry.
New Orleans Musicians' Village
Conceived by New Orleans natives Harry Connick, Jr. and Branford Marsalis, Musicians' Village will provide a home for both the artists who have defined the city’s culture and the sounds that have shaped the musical vernacular of the world.
Be sure to visit Branford's Facebook page and become a Fan of his there!
We hope that you will also head over to Branford's newly redesigned MySpace page!

ELLIS MARSALIS CENTER FOR MUSIC TO OPEN IN NEW ORLEANS MUSICIANS’ VILLAGE
Musicians’ Village, Upper Ninth Ward, New Orleans, LA – August 8, 2011: On August 25, 2011, as the sixth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches, one of the most positive responses to the catastrophe that devastated New Orleans will be unveiled – The Ellis Marsalis Center for Music. Located at 1901 Bartholomew Street in the heart of the Musicians’ Village in the Upper Ninth Ward, and named for one of the city’s most influential pianists, educators and living legends, the Center will serve as a state of the art facility for the preservation and ongoing development of New Orleans music and culture.
Like Musicians’ Village, the innovative New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity project that has provided 72 single-family homes and 10 elder-friendly duplex units for the city’s displaced musicians, the Ellis Marsalis Center was the brainchild of one of Ellis’s sons, saxophonist Branford Marsalis, and one of his most celebrated pupils, singer/pianist/actor Harry Connick, Jr. Read More
