Dee Lucas

National recording artist and saxophonist Dee Lucas has been noted as the hardest-working artist in contemporary jazz while steadily growing his brand and fan base beginning with Remembrance in 2004. After that, it has been a steady showcase of unique stylings with Something to Ride 2 (2007), Standing Room Only (2010), Rebirth of the Smooth (2012), The Smooth Factor (2014), Going Deeper (2016), The Sweet Spot (2017), Going Left (2018), and the critically-acclaimed The Time Is Now (2020).

“The Time Is Now” marked his 9th worldwide release and is arguably considered his best work to date. It was positioned on several music charts including the Billboard Top 20 Smooth Jazz charts with the hit single ‘Full Tilt’. It also was nominated for an Indie Soul Smooth Jazz Album of the Year award.

In 2022, Lucas released two singles titled ‘Hot Ice’ featuring keyboardist Gino Rosaria, and ‘Sir Dee’ as a prelude to his 10th album “No Boundaries” to be released in March 2023. Both singles hit #1 on several smooth jazz charts and have become an instant fan favorite.

A Los Angeles native who spent his teen years in Kansas City, KS, Marqueal has been in Chicago's music-rich city since 1995. By the early 2000s, he was highly in demand to perform with the top musicians and bands in the city.

In 2008, Marqueal met smooth jazz star Brian Culbertson. Impressed by his playing and singing, Brian offered Marqueal a spot in his touring band. Over the next 10 years, Marqueal traveled the world with Brian, appeared in two DVDs, and was featured on four albums. The exposure gave him the confidence and desire to become a solo artist.

Marqueal’s solo debut album, Catalyst, was released in October 2013. It helped to establish him as an emerging artist in Smooth & Contemporary Jazz. In 2019, he released his second project, Intention & Purpose. The album yielded two Top 20 hits on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Singles Chart, “If You Only Knew” and “The Edge”.

Marqueal’s current album, All We Have Are Moments was released in early 2022. The album contains singles “Last Call” and “Sistas” which are well received by SiriusXM Watercolors and Smooth Jazz Radio.

In addition to leading and touring with his band, Marqueal occasionally tours with legendary band The Isley Brothers.
