Both Sides of the Fence

Trumpeter Thomas Marriott is back with his follow up to last year's "Individuation," named one of the top 10 jazz releases of the year by Chicago's WBEZ radio. Featuring a stellar lineup of musicians including vibraphone master Joe Locke and veteran saxophonist Hadley Caliman, "Both Sides of the Fence" explores original compositions by Marriott, reworked and spiced-up standards as well as jazz gems by Freddie Hubbard, Duke Ellington and Chick Corea. Winner of the 1999 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Competition, the Seattle-based trumpeter/flugelhornist made his mark in New York over the last 5 years in performances with Rosemary Clooney, Bob Berg, Bebe Valdez, Joe Locke and world tours with Maynard Ferguson.
