Equally well-known for his work with his musical family and his solo projects, Marsalis is sought-after as a featured soloist with such orchestras including the New York and Los Angeles philharmonics, and the Chicago, Detroit, North Carolina, and Düsseldorf symphonies. Even as he tours the world as a featured classical soloist, he continues to play with the Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986.
