From bebop to hip-hop, New York pianist Marc Cary is a fearless musical explorer with a gift for leading adventurous ensembles. He first gained attention with Roy Hargrove, but made a name for himself as a bandleader with the percussion-driven combo Indigenous People. Constantly in demand as an accompanist, Cary has collaborated with an impressive array of jazz and R&B artists, from Meshell Ndegeocello and Erykah Badu to Betty Carter, Milt Jackson, Max Roach and Shirley Horn.
Cary's current vision is to bring together East Indian, West African and Native American musical traditions in an all-acoustic setting. He does just that with the ferociously inventive Focus Trio, a potent band featuring the exceptional Bay Area rhythm section tandem of bassist David Ewell and Sameer Gupta on drums and tabla.
