Chicago based trumpeter Marques Carroll is keeping the tradition of jazz alive while pushing the genre forward into exciting new territory. A bold performer and passionate educator, he is dedicated to preserving the authentic culture of jazz and spreading his holistic love of music around the world.

Marques compositions are soulful explorations of culture and consciousness. A storyteller at heart, he uses his horn to break down barriers between genres, writing evocative music that speaks directly to the soul. Every instrument plays a character, Marques says, describing his methods. I want people to open their minds to what the story is about. Every piece I write is purposeful.

Marques is the leader of his own self titled quintet, the Trumpet Summit and co-leader of the Chicago Soul Jazz Collective, and also a permanent sub-member of The Count Basie Orchestra. His solo debut record, The Ancestors Call, and his sequel to his debut record, Foundations, are now available everywhere via his own cofounded label, JMarq Records.
