Trumpeter Thomas Marriott is back with his follow up to last year's "Individuation," named one of the top 10 jazz releases of the year by Chicago's WBEZ radio. Featuring a stellar lineup of musicians including vibraphone master Joe Locke and veteran saxophonist Hadley Caliman, "Both Sides of the Fence" explores original compositions by Marriott, reworked and spiced-up standards as well as jazz gems by Freddie Hubbard, Duke Ellington and Chick Corea. Winner of the 1999 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Competition, the Seattle-based trumpeter/flugelhornist made his mark in New York over the last 5 years in performances with Rosemary Clooney, Bob Berg, Bebe Valdez, Joe Locke and world tours with Maynard Ferguson.
