Born 1934, Ellis Marsalis is the piano playing father of famous sons Wynton and Branford Marsalis. The recordings on 'The Classic Marsalis' were made for AFO in 1963 with an excellent group of musicians - Nat Perrilliat on saxophone, James Black on drums and Marshall Smith on bass Tracks include Ellis originals like After as well as Thelonius Monk's 'Round About Midnight' and Dizzy Gillespie's 'Night In Tunisia'. The co-producer of the sessions is Harold Battiste (who also produced Dr John's 'Gris Gris' album).
