Sibis jazz ensembles with Marquis Hill
Sibelius Academy jazz ensembles perform with 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.”
In November 2014, Hill won the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz competition and became a presence on the global scene virtually overnight.
