"For All We Know...now stands as the capstone to a legendary jazz career, though the easy rapport between father and son also give it the air of a conversation around the table." — WBGO

"If Newvelle's intent is to make albums that are stand-alone works of art, this is a masterpiece." — Offbeat

Jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis joined Newvelle Records in the studio just a few weeks before his passing. This album, his last recording, finds him returning to some of his earliest works. In addition to a few new pieces, Marsalis revisits works from the earliest days of the modern jazz movement in New Orleans.

He remembers moments that impacted the trajectory of the genre-such as when Coltrane came to listen to Marsalis and James Black and was blown away by their use of mixed meter. Ellis is joined on several songs by his youngest son Jason Marsalis on the vibraphone, and on one track with special accompaniment by Jason's daughter Marley Marsalis on percussion and piano.
