The Marshall Keys Group is an internationally recognized quartet of supremely versatile musicians. Keyboardist Federico Peña (David Sanborn, Marcus Miller) constructs arrangements on the fly so tunes never sound the same way twice. Mark Prince (Fertile Ground, Jennifer Holliday) has a unique style of drumming that can create heat with or without fire. Bassist Michael Bowie (Betty Carter, Dee Dee Bridgewater) is a well-known educator and master of many musical forms. Saxophonist Marshall Keys’ dulcet tones and earthy compositions conjure the spirits of jazzmen past and future. From mainstream to contemporary, from bebop to hip hop, he plays the saxophone with a sense of grace and emotion that is wholly without cliché.
