MODERN MOOD – Marquis Hunt

An Ensemble Rooted in Mastery, Crafted for Impact

Modern MOOD is a world-class jazz ensemble led by saxophonist and composer MarQuis Hunt. Reimagined from his original group MOOD, this collective brings together session-seasoned, globally-traveled musicians who live locally but play globally.

Modern MOOD is known for immersive performances that blur the line between concert and ritual—crafting sonic experiences that are as intentional as they are unforgettable. Whether performing in an intimate listening room or a grand stage, their presence is undeniable.
