An eclectic and original jazz pianist, Marc Cary has built upon a strong post-bop foundation, exploring Afro-Cuban, electronic, and groove-based styles. A member of Roy Hargrove's group in the '90s, he went on to establish himself on his own albums like 1995's Cary On and 1997's Listen, bold acoustic dates that showcased his deep grasp of hard bop traditions. Never an artist to remain creatively still, Cary displayed his expansive taste with 1998's The Antidote and 1999's Rhodes Ahead, Vol. 1, ably combining modal jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms with funk-oriented electronic sounds. Cary continued to expand his sound with his Indigenous People ensemble, further embracing Latin, African, and Afro-Cuban traditions. On his 2013 solo piano outing For the Love of Abbey, he paid homage to his former boss, vocalist Abbey Lincoln, before returning to his genre-bending synth and organ work with 2015's Rhodes Ahead, Vol. 2 and 2021's Life Lessons.
Marc Cary has also released music as a member of David Murray Infinity Quartet and Indigenous People.
