Hannah Marks
Formed in 2021, the Hannah Marks Quartet features a group of edgy, young NYC-based jazz musicians: Hannah Marks as bassist and bandleader, Nathan Reising on alto saxophone, Lex Korten on piano, and Steven Crammer on drums. They have performed at renowned NYC venues including the 55 Bar, The Jazz Gallery, Bar Lunatico, and Bar Bayeux, and across the country at the Iowa City Jazz Festival and Center City Jazz Festival.
Hannah Marks is a bassist, composer, and educator living in New York City. 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.
She has performed at festivals like the Detroit Jazz Festival, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, 80-35 Music Festival, Iowa City Jazz Festival and Indy Jazz Festival. In addition to her experimental rock project Outsider, Outlier, Marks also leads a jazz group, Hannah Marks Quartet.
As a side-woman, Marks has been described as having “a fresh, modern, and original approach to playing the bass” by Marcus Printup. Marks has played bass for Geoffrey Keezer, Nasheet Waits, Terri Lyne Carrington, Anna Webber, Miles Okazaki, 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”, 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 Jazz House Kids and the Spence School during the academic year, and at Interlochen Arts Camp and the Stanford Jazz Workshop 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.
