Trotz seinem musikalischen Einfluss und stetiger Nachfrage von Seiten der Fans, vermied es der Marsalis-Clan über Jahre gemeinsam aufzutreten. Vielmehr sollte das Schaffen und Wirken der einzelnen Musiker im Vordergrund stehen. Anlässlich der Pensionierung von Familienoberhaupt Ellis Marsalis, seines Zeichens Begründer der musikalischen Legende des Marsalis Clans und Musikprofessor an der New Orleans University, gaben sich dann doch sämtliche Musikerberühmtheiten des Clans die Ehre zusammen auf einer Bühne zu stehen. Das Ergebnis ist wahrhaft eine Jazz Celebration und zeigt Solo-Darbietungen von Ellis Marsalis begleitet von seinen nicht minder einflussreichen Söhnen Branford, Wynton und weiteren Musikern.
In 1981, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and saxophonist Branford Marsalis burst on the scene as the young lions who started a jazz renaissance. They were followed by their younger brothers, trombonist Delfeayo and drummer Jason. Incredible as it sounds, they’ve never recorded together as a family. On August 4, 2001, at the University of New Orleans, they performed with their father, the esteemed pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis in a concert that marked his retirement from the school’s jazz department. Supported by bassist Roland Guerin, the family delivers a swinging live program of standards and original works in trio, quartet, and sextet combinations. The elder Marsalis’s pristine pianism colors his midtempo tune “Swingin’ at the Haven,” while Jason Marsalis’s Afro-tinged intro peppers the standard “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top.” Wynton and Branford declare their brotherly love on the saxophonist’s Ornette Coleman-esque “Cain and Abel.” Actor-singer-pianist Harry Connick Jr. joins in on the fun with “Twelve’s It” and “St. James Infirmary.”
