Arts District: Ellis Marsalis, History Colorado

Jazz patriarch Ellis Marsalis visited Denver and the KUVO studios in December. Arts District caught up with him as he was preparing to perform at Baur’s Listening Lounge. In the audio below (as heard on the KUVO morning show “First Take with Lando and Chavis”), hear Marsalis comment on technology and fame, and Carlos shares an Ellis Marsalis story.

History Colorado, under the leadership of the newly appointed State Historian Patty Limerick, wants ideas from the public about future exhibits. From Limerick’s call for ideas: “As a Coloradan who appreciates the value of history in our lives, you have ideas, inspirations, and aspirations I should have in mind.”

Carrie, Steve and Carlos ponder new ideas for History Colorado

Exhibit ideas may be submitted at www.HistoryColorado.org.

 

The television version of “Arts District” airs Thursday nights at 7:30 on Rocky Mountain PBS.
