“Dedicated to bridging the gap between hip-hop and jazz…”

This young eclectic group of musicians is bringing a young and unique blend to the music scene. Webster’s Dictionary defines ConQuest as a person whose favor or hand has been won. The goal of this group to is to grasp each crowd’s attention and win people over by their smooth rhythms and distinct harmonies; letting them massage your soul through their musical innovations. The group is led by keyboardists, Clarence Williams Jr. Mr. and Mrs. McKinney controls the 3-4 piece horn section while Mr. Anthony Allamandola makes a statement on the guitar. Michael Ray keeps the groove on the drums while Mr. Isaiah Webb holds down the baseline. These guys mix jazz, funk, classical, gospel and fusion together, which creates an unforgettable sound.

On August 17, 2013 the group held another one of their highly anticipated showcases. The title of this event was “A Lil’ Bit of Everything.” This showcase featured some of ConQuest’s newest original material. There were also performances from Chicago’s very own Jamie Sherman and 2003 Chicago Idol Winner as well as supporting artist for the Grammy Award Winning R. Kelly, Maurice Mahon. This event was great! The way the band will grasp your attention is phenomenal and extremely unique!
