Trombonist brings jazz ensemble to Liberty Theatre

Published 12:15 am Monday, February 24, 2025

ASTORIA — An evening of New Orleans-style jazz music will fill the halls of the Liberty Theatre on March 4.

At 7 p.m., Grammy Award-winning trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis will take the stage with his Uptown Jazz Orchestra for a night of traditional, classic compositions with a modern edge.

In 2007, Marsalis founded the orchestra with a mission to keep jazz music traditions — like riff playing and spontaneous group improvizations — alive, with an infusion of new talent into the New Orleans jazz community.

To date, the group has released three acclaimed albums, including the 2024 release “Crescent City Jewels.”

This show is being sponsored in part by the Moreland Family Foundation. Seating is reserved, with tickets available for $37 to $57 at www.libertyastoria.org. Doors open at 6 p.m.
