Branford Marsalis Quartet

NEA Jazz Master and three-time Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalisis one of the most revered figures in jazz and contemporary music. Marsalis presents a kaleidoscopic range of original compositions, along with jazz and popular classics, all supercharged by his quartet’s extraordinary energy and telepathic musical connection.

This concert is part of KCA’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration. For more than a decade, KCA and Queens College have held a special annual event in honor and memory of Dr. King’s legacy and his connection to Queens College, where he delivered a powerful speech from the stage of Colden Auditorium in 1965.

This special program includes a recognition ceremony and keynote address by the event’s honoree at 3pm, followed by the Branford Marsalis Quartet concert at 4pm.
