About the Artist
Born into a musical family in St. Louis, MO, Chicago-based trumpeter Marques Carroll fell in love with the trumpet when he was only eight years old. Carroll grew up absorbing the blues of Louis Armstrong and the laid-back sounds of Miles Davis, eventually going on to study jazz performance at DePaul University. Carroll has worked and shared the stage with jazz powerhouses like Carmen Bradford, Dee Dee Bridgewater (Count Basie Band), Etienne Charles, Christian McBride, Jon Faddis, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Randy Weston (Chicago Jazz Ensemble). In addition to performing he created the music program for Chicago Jesuit Academy and was its music director for 15 years, and regularly holds clinics and master classes around the country. He is the leader of the Trumpet Summi,t coleader of the Chicago Soul Jazz Collective, and a permanent sub-member of The Count Basie Orchestra. 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. His debut solo record, The Ancestors’ Call, is now available.
