Bopndick's 10 Picks (Dick Crockett)
What can you say about Thomas Marriott that says fabulous. This CD will more than make that claim. Marriott has a strong tone, great command and swings like...fabulously. Listen to his forceful attack right off on ìBoth Sides Of The Fence.î He's clear, precise, strictly down to business, the essence of hard bop swinging. The band of Marc Seales,...

All About Jazz / Seattle (Bill Barton)
In 1999 Thomas Marriott won the prestigious Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Competition sponsored by the International Trumpet Guild and the Herb Albert Foundation.

All Music Guide (Ken Dryden)
Thomas Marriott's second recording is a thoroughly impressive affair, recorded over two studio sessions a few months apart.

Cadence, Oct-Nov 2007 (Jerome Wilson)
Trumpeter Thomas Marriott's CD is respectable small group work with a few surprises. Marriott has a soft, quiet sound that excels on slow, introspective pieces like Duke Ellington's "Mew World A Comin'" and glides beautifully on the more uptempo "Summer Night" where Marriott's rhythm section (Marc Seales, Jeff Johnson, and John Bishop) keep a livel...
