**FILE** Ellis Marsalis plays the piano while his son, Wynton, tries his trumpet during the sound check for the "Marsalis at the Penthouse" concert in this Tuesday, May 27, 2003 file photo, at Lincoln Center in New York. Just about every member of the musical Marsalis family has been a part of the Greensboro, N.C., Eastern Music Festival. Now, patriarch Ellis Marsalis can be counted among them. The 71-year-old jazz pianist talked with music students and then performed a short concert Wednesday. Marsalis’ sons Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason attended the festival as students, and his saxophone-playing son, Branford, has performed there. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, FILE)
