The American jazz musician Ellis Marsalis Jr has died from complications of Covid-19, his family has announced.

The pianist, who was 85, spent the majority of his career in New Orleans and released more than 15 albums.

“Ellis Marsalis was a legend. He was the prototype of what we mean when we talk about New Orleans jazz,” the city’s mayor, LaToya Cantrell, said in a statement.

He was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2008.

Four of his six sons have had successful careers as jazz musicians, including nine-time Grammy winner Wynton Marsalis.
