Short List: Jazz Women – The Instrumentalists (Mimi Fox) 
West Coast guitarist Mimi Fox is little known in the Midwest, but is a significant part of the Bay Area jazz scene in San Francisco. When she started in music, it was the drums, but on hearing The Monkees and The Beatles, switched to guitar. Before she was 12 she was teaching older teens the rudiments of guitar playing. Out of high school she became a professional musician. When she moved from New York City to the West Coast, she came upon Bruce Foreman whose blues and bop style marked her for jazz. She was mentored by guitar guru Jim Hall and has played with many of the significant jazz guitarists of the past three decades.

Marquis Hill at the 2016 Iowa City Jazz Festival
Highlights from the 2016 Iowa City Jazz Festival Mainstage: Marquis Hill Blacktet
In anticipation of the 2017 Iowa City Jazz Festival June 30 – July 2, we revisit one of the many wonderful Main Stage performances from last year’s festival.
Marquis Hill is best known as the winner of the 2014 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Trumpet Competition. With his combination of fleet, jabbing accents and soaring grace notes, Hill was singled out as something special. The South Side of Chicago native is a composer of conceptual pieces, through which he imparts a real vision about the world – about the places he calls home and the people he loves. As a bandleader, he lifts the game of everyone around him.
Hill studied his trade in the South Shore Youth Jazz Ensemble and with the Ravinia Jazz Mentors, and at Northern Illinois University and DePaul University. It’s easy to see his influences when compared to the chain of trumpeters leading from Roy Eldridge to Dizzy Gillespie to Roy Hargrove, but he commands his own category.
