“Marks’ unpredictable style nail-guns her listeners to the edge of their seats.” Matty Bannond, New York City Jazz Record
"Hear Out My Everything" is the manifestation of Hannah Marks' 2026 Jazz Gallery Residency Commission. The new music, spelling "H.O.M.E.", was formed during Marks' frequent travels and efforts to find comfort while away from her own home. The debut of this new quartet exemplifies the magic of intergenerational collaboration in jazz, and is a step towards combining the seemingly disparate sonic worlds of her first two albums - one being experimental jazz rock, the other being acoustic jazz. This new work is inspired by the uplifting and free nature of Keith Jarrett's bands, the sonic landscape of Weather Report, and the intricate grooves of Dave Holland's music.
Hannah Marks is a bassist, composer, and educator living in Brooklyn. She currently leads a risk-taking acoustic jazz quartet that features NYC’s most in-demand sidemen, and has showcased her musical projects at festivals like the Detroit Jazz Festival, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, 80-35 Music Festival, Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival, Iowa City Jazz Festival and Indy Jazz Festival. Produced by Jason Moran, her second album, Feed the Fire, released in June 2026 on Endectomorph.
Marks’ debut album, Outsider, Outlier, is an explosive rendering of her search for belonging and empowerment. A nod to her love for punk, noise and free improvisation, Outsider, Outlier released on Out Of Your Head Records on October 20, 2023. Citizen Jazz called Outsider, Outlier “…a very mature record from a young artist with very strong ideas who does not hold back anything.”
As a side-woman, Marks has been described as having “a fresh, modern, and original approach to playing the bass” by Marcus Printup. Marks regularly works with Miles Okazaki, Jacob Garchik, and Simon Hanes, and has performed with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Geoffrey Keezer, Nasheet Waits, Terri Lyne Carrington, Anna Webber, Ingrid Jensen, Kalia Vandever, Matt Wilson, Ted Nash, Morgan Guerin, Marcus Printup, and Sasha Berliner. Marks’ discography includes playing on Geoffrey Keezer’s Grammy award winning composition “Refuge”, Amanda Ekery's Grammy nominated Arabé, Miles Okazaki’s Boomtown, Kristen Lee Sergeant’s Falling with saxophonist Ted Nash, and Heartland Trio’s debut album Year One.
Marks is passionate about jazz education, serving on faculty at Fordham University during the academic year, and at Interlochen Arts Camp, Stanford Jazz Workshop, and Jazz Camp West during the summer. She has also presented masterclasses at universities across the country (Brown University, Indiana University, and University of Denver) and adjudicated at the Reno Jazz Festival, Clark College Jazz Festival, and Simpson College Jazz Festival.
