Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Award winner, and Tony and EMMY Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, featuring pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and drummer Justin Faulkner.

The Grammy-winning quartet brings the Belonging Tour – featuring music from Marsalis’ Blue Note debut Belonging – to the Concert Hall. A full album reinterpretation of Keith Jarrett’s 1974 ECM album of the same name, Belonging is Marsalis’ first new quartet release since 2019.  

After nearly four decades of existence with minimal personnel changes, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After receiving Grammy nominations on its last two albums, Upward Spiral and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, the Quartet made it's Blue Note Records debut with the release of Belonging, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett's 1974 ECM album of the same name.
