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.

On April 30th, as part of International Jazz Day, the SŌ What Jazz Series hosted a full house at SŌ Restaurant & Bar, creating an intentional, intimate listening room experience.
This curated gathering reminded us that jazz is more than music—it is conversation, memory, resistance, and reverence. On a day celebrated globally as a call for unity through sound, Little Rock answered with soul, with listening, and with presence.
Moments like this are why we do what we do. Thank you to everyone who helped make it sacred.
