Marsalis family patriarch (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ellis

(Other definitions for ellis that I've seen before include "who wrote sexy books?" , "Havelock --, English essayist" , "American island" , "expert in sexual psychology" , "Havelock --, psychologist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
