SUMMARY:Marquis Hill: Composers Collective
DESCRIPTION:One of the finest trumpeters in jazz today\, Marquis Hill is a composer and bandleader whose “pan-musical vision recognizes all Black music—jazz\, R&B\, hip-hop\, etc.—as one long continuum” (The Big Takeover). \nBorn and raised on Chicago’s South Side\, Hill absorbed the jazz tradition formally and from gigs and jam sessions with elders. By the time he won the 2014 Thelonious Monk competition\, his reputation for fluid virtuosity had been firmly established as a member of the Chicago Jazz Orchestra\, an in-demand sideman\, and a leader with several buzzworthy albums to his credit. Since then\, he’s received glowing critical acclaim\, topped the DownBeat “Rising Star–Trumpet” Critics Poll\, toured nonstop with his group Blacktet\, and worked with a jazz who’s-who that includes Marcus Miller\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, Kurt Elling\, Joe Lovano\, and Makaya McCraven. \n“Composers Collective: Beyond the Jukebox” celebrates the compositions of friends\, colleagues\, and heroes invited to compose a piece with Marquis specifically in mind. “I was thinking about the tradition in jazz where Dexter Gordon would record a Lee Morgan composition\, or Freddie Hubbard would record a Wayne Shorter composition\,” muses Hill. “I started to wonder\, ‘When did we stop doing that\, playing each other’s music?’ In addition to Hill’s soulful\, eclectic modern jazz compositions\, the new album includes pieces by Ernest Dawkins\, Jeff Parker\, Marcus Strickland\, SABA\, and Joel Ross\, plus guest appearances by Gerald Clayton\, Makaya McCraven\, Caroline Davis\, and more. \nJoining Hill for this year’s Vancouver International Jazz Festival performance are pianist Michael King and drummer Corey Fonville\, who both contributed pieces to the album\, as well as bassist Micah Collier\, a rising star in the Chicago scene. \nThis is an accessible venue. If assistance is required please contact: boxoffice@coastaljazz.ca \nPlease Note: Seating is limited with a mix of seating and standing room. Arrive early for seating. Box Office & Lobby open at 6:30 PM; House opens at 7:00 PM; the show starts at 7:30 PM \nWe are grateful for the support of the Alan and Gwendoline Pyatt Foundation.
