The 85 year-old jazz musician and father of musicians, Wynton, Branford, and Delfeayo Marsalis died yesterday of complications from coronavirus. He was also teaching the jazz studies program at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. I also found out, when I lived in the French Quarter, that he was equally well-known for being an incredibly patient and generous man who truly cared about his family and students. Mr. Marsalis was a world renowned jazz legend who accomplished so much that I'm going to link to an article instead of paraphrasing it here.
