Aiken, SC (04/04/2022) — The Etherredge Center at the University of South Carolina Aiken (USC Aiken) presents the final event of the 2021-2022 Cultural Series: The Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo Duo. The performance is scheduled for Friday, April 29, at 7:30 p.m. on the Etherredge Center Main Stage located at 340 Scholar Loop in Aiken.
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a multi-award-winning artist with three Grammys and a citation by the National Endowment for the Arts as a Jazz Master. He grew up in New Orleans as the oldest son of a pianist and educator and was drawn to music from an early age. The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, remains his primary means of expression. In its three-plus decades of existence, the quartet has established a rare breadth of stylistic range, as demonstrated in the band's latest release: The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul.
His work on Broadway has garnered a Drama Desk Award and Tony nominations for the acclaimed revivals of "Children of a Lesser God," "Fences," and "A Raisin in the Sun." His screen credits include original music composed for "Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues," "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" starring Oprah Winfrey, and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman. Ma Rainey is the Netflix film adaptation of two-time Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson's play, produced by Denzel Washington and released in December 2020.
