SUMMARY:Michael Malis Quartet
DESCRIPTION:SUN | Aug 10	\n\n	\n		\n		Marquis Hill\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	Doors 5pm | Show 6 | $45 Cover or $95 Dinner & Show\nDoors 8pm | Show 8:30 | $45 Cover or $95 Dinner & Show \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n		About the Artist\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	Marquis Hill-Trumpet\nGreg Ward - Alto Saxophone\nEmmanuel Michael-Guitar\nJunius Paul -Bass\nMakaya McCraven - Drums \nFrom 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.” \nThat mission to bring styles together\, complemented by Hill’s absolute mastery of his instrument\, is a through line connecting his many achievements. It can be heard on his latest album\, Modern Flows Vol. II\, with its seamless blend of jazz interplay\, hip-hop-infused rhythms and socially conscious spoken-word. It’s integral to The Way We Play\, his Concord Jazz debut from 2016\, where Hill and his musicians reinvent jazz standards using their generation’s wide- ranging influences. It marks the four records Hill self-released before November of 2014\, when he won the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz competition and became a presence on the global scene virtually overnight. And it defines the revelatory live dates by Hill’s longtime working group\, the Blacktet\, which the Chicago Tribune called “a remarkably polished\, immensely attractive ensemble.” \nFor Hill\, playing and listening without limits has long been an instinct. “It comes naturally; that’s the way I hear the music\,” he says. “I came up in a household where my mom played Motown\, R&B\, Isley Brothers\, Barry White\, Marvin Gaye. Then I received my first jazz record\, by Lee Morgan\, and that was added to the collection. ... I truly believe that the music is all the same.” \nBorn in Chicago in 1987 and raised on the city’s culturally rich South Side\, Hill began playing drums at age 4\, before switching to trumpet in the 6th grade. He attended high school at Kenwood Academy\, excelling in its revered jazz-performance program\, and was mentored by Bobby Broom\, Willie Pickens\, Tito Carrillo and other Chicago greats through the Ravinia Jazz Scholars program. \n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n				\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\nLEARN MORE
