New Orleans: Ellis Marsalis, 72, still performs every Friday night at Snug Harbor on Frenchmen Street in New Orleans. His style of jazz was called modern and avant-garde in the 1940s but Marsalis isn't into labels for his music. "I never define jazz. It's like trying to define America," said Marsalis. "It's like a gumbo." Mike Dean / Mike Dean/CNHI News Service
