MARQUES CARROLL QUINTET

Trumpeter Marques Carroll, brings his Chicago based quintet to St. Louis for a two night gig, featuring Greg Artry ~ drums, Julius Tucker ~ piano, Christian Dillingham ~ bass, and Marvin Truong ~ alto saxophone. The St. Louis native is an Emmy Award winner, Grammy member, jazz educator, and former member of the legendary Count Basie Orchestra.

Blending fiery original compositions with contemporary classics by Roy Hargrove, Wayne Shorter, and others, the group brings a message-driven sound shaped by social justice, personal heritage, and artistic integrity. From his debut, The Ancestors’ Call, to his follow-up Foundations, Carroll crafts music that honors legacy while pushing toward progress. Together, this ensemble of bandleaders delivers a bold and deeply expressive voice, refined in Chicago, and resonating far beyond.
