Winner of the 2014 Thelonious Monk International Trumpet Competition, Chicago-born trumpeter Marquis Hill has, in a comparatively short time, established his well-deserved reputation as a leading figure among today's crop of most adventurous jazz musicians. He returns with compositions from his new album and band project, Composers Collective.
A singular artist with a warm, soul-drenched sound and an advanced command of composition, Hill accepted the prestigious Monk honor as an acknowledgment of a major career already in progress rather than the first spark from a neophyte, with four albums as a leader already under his belt, and a distinctive ensemble approach firmly established.
The trumpeter applied the foundations he built with mentors Willie Pickens and Bobby Broom to sideman work with the likes of Benny Golson, Steve Turre, Joe Lovano, Kurt Elling, and Ron Carter, as well as collaboration with drummer and fellow Chicago trailblazer Makaya McCraven.
His most recent release as a leader for his Black Unlimited Music Group imprint, Rituals + Routines, features a telepathic quartet and guests including vibraphonist Joel Ross and saxophonist Braxton Cook, and with Composers Collective, Hill has taken a new evolutionary step.
