“Screen Time, trumpeter Thomas Marriott’s 15th album as a leader, features music from screens large and small, from the cineplex to the iPhone, all reinvented for a state-of-the-art jazz quartet. With longtime collaborator and producer Orrin Evans on piano, rising star Mark Whitfield Jr. on drums, and jazz legend Robert Hurst III on bass, Screen Time takes the listener through an album of songs both familiar and obscure, energetic and contemplative, original and well-loved, and always engaging. Marriott’s trumpet paints a cinematic portrait of the music in vivid technicolor sound, backed by a crew of musical luminaries who set the stage stage for blockbuster action, romance and drama.”
Earlier this year Thomas Marriott became the youngest inductee into the Seattle Jazz Hall Of Fame. He started playing professionally in 1992 and won his first “Golden Ear Award” in 1996. Thanks to Earshot Jazz for decades of support!
