THOMAS MARRIOTT QUARTET

Seattle trumpeter Thomas Marriott, a "Jazz Hero" award recipient in 2024 and the youngest inductee into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame, has been a prominent force on the West Coast jazz scene for over two decades. His extensive discography includes 15 albums as a leader, with his 2024 release, Screen Time on Imani Records, reimagining film and television scores alongside original compositions. Marriott's sound blends hard bop, post-bop, and modal jazz, showcasing a clear, round trumpet tone that can shift from muted romanticism to searing, open-horn passages. His performances offer a dynamic interplay between modernism and swinging tradition.
