Marquis Hill (born April 15, 1987) is an American jazz trumpet player, composer, and bandleader from Chicago, Illinois. His musical style stems from African-American music, incorporating hip-hop, R&B, Chicago house and neo-soul to jazz.[1][2] In 2014 Hill won the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz International Trumpet Competition.[3] He strongly advocates for the education of the next generation of musicians through active mentoring, treating the music he creates as a living art.[4]
