Thomas Marriott’s Willie Nelson Project: Crazy, the Music of Willie Nelson
The award winning trumpeter Thomas Marriott presents reworkings of classic songs by the great american singer-songwriter Willie Nelson.
Marriott has transformed much of the country-western material to fit his modern five-piece electric jazz group which includes drummer Matt Jorgensen, bassist Geoff Harper, saxophonist Mark Taylor and keyboardist Ryan Burns.
Taking material from many of Nelson’s hit songs and some lesser known tunes as well, Marriott has reinvented the material to create new and unique forms for improvisation and interplay.
