Ellis Marsalis dead from corona virus

Sorry to hear that.  He was a great pianist.

Few people lived as full a life as he  . May he rest in Peace .

What a shame
he is legend
the World is a smaller place with his passing....

I fear there are going to be a lot more names added to the list of great musicians taken from us before this is all over.
Very sad.

So if the results are still pending, your thread title is misleading.

Was it or wasn't it?

Rest in Peace.

Ozzy62,
"My thread" is nothing more or less than the full text of the notice appearing in "The Washington Post" yesterday. I know no more nor less from its contents than you do and I've read nothing else at all on the matter.

This from an online news service.

“Pneumonia was the actual thing that caused his demise," Ellis Marsalis III said. "But it was pneumonia brought on by COVID-19."

Make of of it what you will.

Dead is dead.

A true legend RIP Ellis.

I took a masterclass with him; it’s funny though, I read he died years ago.  This is weird.  He was old as dirt back in 1988.  

my beautiful wife and I were lucky to see him and his sons perform at the Davies center while e was entertains pre performance guests with guests!  We were privileged to meet them and view their performance which led me to admire Jan’s!   The families showed how jazz encompasses so much more than the beautiful jaws known in jazz clubs but so layers and layers more!  He helped built a dynasty now moved on by his talented family!  Everyone should hear all of their music because your will be amazed as we were!  We will cherish both the night and our cherished momentos 
And we will say a special prayer for the family tonight!   A great man and a great family!
cheers

Sorry about the spelling.  Long day!  Jazz and the family were he main reason I wrote!  Say a special prayer tonight for them!  We are all one family during these tough times!  But this is  when Americans show their true colors!  ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

R.I.P. Ellis

RIP Ellis. 

I am a fan of Wynton. I have and love to listen to his classical recordings. 

Make of of it what you will.

Dead is dead.

Understood. But the MSM would rather sensationalize than report. It's what they do.

RIP Mr. Marsalis.

Wynton Marsalis was my first introduction to jazz. I ended up buying the father's and sons album which of course includes Ellis. A super talented family and a great loss to the music world.
