"Thomas Marriott is one musician who personifies what is special about the Seattle attitude. A trumpet player whose music can fit into any decade, he is both historically traditional and in the moment. Although his new album "Both Sides Of The Fence" has had 3,300 radio spins over the past eight months, he is not content to exploit the success of that particular sound."
-Bill White, The Seattle PI, November 29th, 2007
