About this concert
Two sets at 8:30 and 9:30 at the iconic California Clipper!
Humboldt Park’s longest-standing neighborhood bar with a classic Chicago tavern vibe, seasonal cocktails, and live music. Born just four years after the end of prohibition, the California Clipper has evolved over the decades, weaving its roots into the fabric of its community. From its iconic red leather booths to vintage red light fixtures and Tannoy speakers—the very same used by musical legends like the Beatles and Pink Floyd at the legendary Abbey Road recording studio — the California Clipper proudly gives an authentic post-prohibition feel with a modern twist.

Marques Carroll Biography
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.
Born into a musical family in St. Louis, Marques fell in love with the trumpet when he was only 8 years old. His grandfather worked with jazz legend Clark Terry who would become a major influence on the young musician. Marques 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. He expanded his palette to include classical and hip-hop influences, making him a throughly modern and versatile musician.
"When I play and write I want people to feel good - every piece I write is purposeful." - Marques Carroll
Marques 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). 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.”
"Respect tradition, preserve the culture, and push forward." - Marques Carroll
In addition to his prolific performing career, Marques is an accomplished educator. He is the former musical director for Chicago Jesuit Academy, currently teaches Jazz Trumpet at the University in Chicago and regularly holds clinics and master classes around the country. 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.
