Oni Marsalis: Jazz Musician in New York

About Oni Marsalis

Oni Marsalis is a jazz artist heard on New York City stages, including Dizzy’s Club. In recent performances, Marsalis has appeared with bassist-composer Carlos Henriquez in formats ranging from the Henriquez Nonet to the Septet, alongside Akshra Yagnik and Luz Velázquez. These projects place Marsalis inside an Afro-Latin–inflected jazz context that balances written material with room to move. Onstage, the playing favors clarity and ensemble listening over spectacle.
