The organizer Niu Er Art said that in the late 1970s, jazz withered, the market shrank, and the whole jazz fell to the bottom.

Born in a jazz family in New Orleans, Marsalis received classical music training at an early age and graduated from the Juilliard School of Music.

He emphasized the artistry of jazz, making jazz, which was originally positioned as pop music, jump into the stream of fashion and art.

He once said, "I have personally witnessed the power of art, and more specifically, the power of jazz, which can continuously improve your life."

Marsalis is the artistic director of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in New York City. He has won nine Grammy Awards in both classical and jazz categories, and is the first and only jazz musician to win the Pulitzer Prize.

His contribution to jazz has allowed more young people with classical music backgrounds to try to enter the field of jazz, making jazz even better in terms of performance skills and arrangement, and maintaining its improvisational style.

In recent years, Marsalis has continued to combine jazz with symphony orchestras and dance through speeches, tours, recordings, and TV programs, hoping to make jazz more diverse and enter the hearts of more listeners.
