Marc Carry Presents Jazz Ahead at Le Cri Du Port

About

“[Cary] creates a massive, resonant sound from the keys, unleashing complex,
grooving explorations that spiral further upward with each successive phrase.”
—Jeff Potter, DownBeat Magazine

Jazz pianist, keyboardist, producer and composer Marc Cary holds tight to his roots in Washington, D.C.’s go-go music scene, but they represent only one element among the myriad. Cary’s interests run from Indian classical to Malian music to hip-hop. He started his career working with Betty Carter, a legendary vocalist famous for drawing soul and sincerity out of her bands, and went on to work with Roy Hargrove, Dizzy Gillespie, Erykah Badu, Shirley Horn, Stefon Harris, Q-Tip and – most influential of all – Abbey Lincoln.
