He moved to New York City to attend Juilliard in 1979, and picked up gigs around town. During this period, Marsalis received a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts to spend time and study with trumpet innovator Woody Shaw, one of Marsalis' major influences at the time. In 1980, he joined the Jazz Messengers led by Art Blakey. In the years that followed, Marsalis performed with Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Sweets Edison, Clark Terry, Sonny Rollins, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and countless other jazz musicians. In 1995, PBS premiered ''Marsalis on Music'', an educational television series on jazz and classical music hosted and written by Marsalis. Also, in 1995, National Public Radio aired the first of Marsalis' 26-week series, entitled ''Making the Music''. His radio and television series were awarded the George Foster Peabody Award. Marsalis has also written five books: ''Sweet Swing Blues on the Road'', ''Jazz in the Bittersweet Blues of Life'', ''To a Young Musician: Letters from the Road'', ''Jazz ABZ'' (an A to Z collection of poems celebrating jazz greats), and his most recent release ''Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life''. There is a Language Arts study guide available for ''Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life'' for high school English teachers who desire to integrate the arts into their classrooms. It is aligned to the Common Core State Standards and has audio and visual supplemental materials. In 1987, Marsalis co-founded a jazz program at Lincoln Center.
