... superb melodic interpreters... The session's program choices prove ideal for each trumpeter's upper register flurries, dips and octave leaps... Rather than an instrumental battle or cutting contest, East-West Trumpet Summit" underlines the artistry that results when great musicians from diverse backgrounds find common ground... " JazzTimes. With their fiery 2010 quintet release "East-West Trumpet Summit," trumpeters Ray Vega and Thomas Marriott's inspired partnership resonated with jazz audiences and quickly hit #1 on the airplay charts. Now with their third installment celebrating the fabled tradition of Fats Navarro/Howard McGhee and Freddie Hubbard/Woody Shaw recordings, the duo brings along Philadelphia's own, Orrin Evans on piano, the legendary Roy McCurdy from Los Angeles on drums, and Seattle bassist Michael Glynn for a set that ranges from George Cables, Don Cherry, and Mingus penned tunes, to originals by Marriott and a couple of Great American Songbook ballads. As with it's predecessors, this album swings from "Coast to Coast!" "... brimming with creative imagination, technical fluency, and a deep respect for the jazz tradition." - INTERNATIONAL TRUMPET GUILD
