Pianist in Abbey Lincoln's quartet during more than ten years, the young magician of the electroacoustic keyboard stands out more and more as a master of jazz-funk futurism by its creativity and versatility. The album " Rhodes Ahead Vol. 1 ", released in 1999, installed Marc Cary as one of the most creative and talented musicians of its generation and launched the electroacoustic jazz sound that then spread in the 2000s. Further to this decisive album, Marc Cary marked the year 2015 with "Rhodes Ahead Vol.2". He plays this repertoire with his trio in our club and promises a unique evening mixing jazz, rhythm'n'blues, hip-hop and electronic music !
Cary has played and recorded with several well-known musicians, including Dizzy Gillespie, Betty Carter, Roy Hargrove, Arthur Taylor, Abbey Lincoln, Carlos Garnett, Erykah Badu, Meshell Ndegeocello, Stefon Harris, Lauryn Hill, Ani DiFranco, Jackie McLean, Q-Tip and Carmen McRae.
Cary grew up playing on the go-go music scene in Washington, D.C. He eventually moved to New York City, and it was through his work with Abbey Lincoln that broad audiences were first introduced to his rhythmic style, which draws on the influence of Randy Weston and McCoy Tyner.
