ABOUT MARQUIS HILL

From his beginnings as one of Chicago’s most thrilling young trumpeters, to his current status as an internationally renowned musician, composer and bandleader, Marquis Hill has worked tirelessly to break down the barriers that divide musical genres. Contemporary and classic jazz, hip-hop, R&B, Chicago house, neo-soul—to Hill, they’re all essential elements of the profound African American creative heritage he’s a part of. “It all comes from the same tree,” he says. “They simply blossomed from different branches.”
