Music Fans, We're holding a few music events this week if you're in the mood for some live music. Thursday January 14th KNKX Livestream: 2021 has started off during some strange times. But one of the things that has not changed is the wonder and enjoyment of music. This past year has shown us how important music is to help keep us calm, inspired, motivated and sane.

His playing is a cornerstone of such groups as Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, Emerald City Jazz Orchestra, Wayne Horvitz’s Washington Composers Orchestra (WACO), Zubatto Syndicate, and The Right Wolf, as well as his own groups, Septology, Pop Culture, Triskaidekaband and Marriott Jazz Quintet. Described by one reviewer as a "canny and imaginative player whose solos display an extraordinary sense of architecture and conception", award-winning trombonist David Marriott is a musician for the next generation - equally at home as a performer, composer, arranger, and educator. David is co-leader, with brother Thomas, of the Marriott Jazz Quintet, which gained early acclaim for its first CD, "Open Season" (1997). The group was voted the Best Emerging Group by Earshot Jazz that same year, and Best Acoustic Jazz Group in 1999. David also received critical acclaim for his CD project "Septology: In The Beginning", a seven-part jazz suite he composed for septet, based on the seven days of creation. Both "The High Country" – the second album from the Marriott Jazz Quintet – and "Septology: In the Beginning" garnered four stars from the prestigious All-Music Guide. His latest release in 2011 featured his quartet, Pop Culture.
