Four powerhouse trumpeters, each seasoned in varied nationally high-profile combos, ignite the stage with this year’s resident artist Thomas Marriott in a blazing celebration of the horn’s voice in jazz. Ingrid Jensen is a longtime member of the Grammy-winning Maria Schneider Orchestra, known for her innovative solo work and role as Director of Jazz Arts at Manhattan School of Music; Sean Jones served under Wynton Marsalis as lead trumpeter for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra; Ray Vega is a two-time Grammy Award winner for his work with the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra.

Edmond’s Woodway High School Jazz Band under the leadership of Jake Bergevin, will be opening this phenomenal concert.

One of the city’s finest ever jazz instrumentalists, the trumpeter, composer, and producer Thomas Marriott is this year’s Earshot Festival Resident Artist. A go-to for contemporary standard-bearers with a history beside jazz elders, Marriott’s horn has been in-demand with bands such as the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Captain Black Big Band, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstafunk, hip-hop pioneer Deltron 3030, and vocalists Kurt Elling, Ernestine Anderson, among others. His own albums, 14 in all, have reached number one on the jazz radio airplay charts and earned 4 1/2 stars in Downbeat. Marriott has been featured in the New York Times and NPR, has won 9 Golden Ear Awards, and is the youngest inductee into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame. He has spent more than 20 seasons as a soloist with the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra and is founder of Seattle Jazz Fellowship. In 2024, he was named a “Jazz Hero” by the Jazz Journalists Association of America.
