| Trumpeter Thomas Marriott pays tribute to the great musical catalog of
Willie Nelson, performing musical re-workings of the country-western
songwriter’s material. Informed by modern electronic music yet rooted
in conceptual modern-jazz, the quintet strives to preserve the spirit
of Willie's original songs while musically searching for very new
musical places.

PRESS AND REVIEWS:
"Crazy: The Music of Willie Nelson goes above and beyond the confines of mere adulation for an American music icon. Seattle-based trumpeter Thomas Marriott creates a conceptual sonic flow, harnessing energy from the melodic and rhythmic legacy of some of Nelson’s well known and not-so-well-known gems. For the bulk of the session Marriott is supported by a stellar crew of like-minded risk takers ..."
