  • Bio

    .. .. .. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) Justin Dillard was born and raised on the west side of Chicago into a rich thriving musical home. Residing in Oak Park, Justin’s resume has accumulated an impressive amount of opportunities to work with some of the innovators of our time. He has had the honorable privilege to perform with and/or receive tutelage from (in no particular order): McCoy Tyner, Hamid Drake, Eric Lewis, Roy Hargrove, Branford Marsalis, Ornette Coleman, Wynton Marsalis, Willie Clayton, Don Moye’, Herbie Hancock, Henry Grimes, Clark Terry and Ellis Marsalis. Justin has had the esteemed pleasure to work in conjunction with, record, and/or study from prominent world-renowned resident musicians in and around the Chicago area (in no particular order), such as: Von Freeman, Bobby Irving III, Roscoe Mitchell, Ari Brown, Orbert Davis, Hamiet Bluiett, Erma Thompson, Fred Anderson, Bill Dickens, The AACM Experimental Ensemble, Billy Bang, Nicole Mitchell, Kahil El’Zabar, and Ernest Dawkins (Live the Spirit Big Band and The Chicago 12 ensembles). His media accolades include features in various periodicals including: The Chicago Reader, and The Chicago Sun-Times. Howard Reich (Chicago Tribune arts critic) writes: “A new generation of jazz improvisers has emerged in Chicago in recent years, but few are more promising than pianist/organist Justin Dillard. Musically, Dillard tends to be all over the keyboard, drawing upon the examples of virtuosos such as Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Oscar Peterson and McCoy Tyner. But there's something more to Dillard's work as well -- a quest for new ideas in music, in the manner of his AACM mentors”. Performing countless jazz festivals nationally and abroad, Justin has performed on national television (ABC) with his organ expose’ The D-O-3-0; and in a documentary produced by George Lucas Studios. Justin has played in every musical environment possible. His ventures in various genres span from Avant Garde with Fred Anderson to a Dave Matthews tribute band. Justin continues to advance his ambitions and transform his career by leading, orchestrating and creatively composing for The D-O-3-O and his vast array of ensembles; all while accompanying great musicians in and around Chicago and the world. Stay tuned.
