Description: From the time capsule - 1988 - Reporter Marcus Jones is introduced to a young, up-and-coming musician, with strong family ties to New Orleans jazz and blues, studying at the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston. The young man's name is Delfeayo Marsalis - brother of Wynton, Branford, and Jason Marsalis - the son of Ellis Marsalis, Jr. At the age of 22, Delfeayo was already aware of the significance of the musical legacy he had inherited and he was bracing himself to carry the torch of his roots music forward into the next generation no matter what obstacles he might encounter.
