"Thomas Marriott is one of the most promising young trumpet players in the region. He combines lightning quick articulation with walloping bop chops, energy, and knowledge of the tradition."
- Earshot Jazz Magazine

Trumpeter Thomas Marriott is one of the most exciting musicians to emerge on the national jazz scene in more than a decade. As a five-time winner of the “Golden Ear” award, he is one of the busiest musicians in the Northwest, his native home. He has toured, recorded and performed with a diversity of musicians including Maynard Ferguson, Rosemary Clooney, The Tito Puente Orchestra, Joe Locke, Eric Reed, Brian Lynch, Bebo Valdez, Eddie Palmieri, The Chico O’Farrill Orchestra, Ritchie Cole, Les Brown's Band of Renown, and many others.

In 1999, Thomas Marriott was the winner of the Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Competition, sponsored by the International Trumpet Guild and The Herb Albert Foundation.

His 2005 album “Individuation” on Origin Records was named among the top 10 for the year by WBEZ radio, Chicago. His 2007 release “Both Sides Of The Fence” spent three months on the national jazz radio charts, peaking in the top ten at number 9. His latest album on Origin Records, “Crazy: The Music Of Willie Nelson,” was released to wide critical acclaim in early 2008.

Now making his home in Seattle once again, Thomas Marriott is busy touring, recording and performing. He maintains a busy schedule as a sideman with local artists such as Greta Mettassa, Marc Seales, the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, Tumbao, Matt Jorgensen + 451, and others.  He appears on more than 50 recordings and film scores and serves on the Board of Governors for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, Pacific Northwest Chapter, and is a former board member of Earshot Jazz.
