An NYC dixieland brass quartet inspired by Louis Armstrong! Trumpet Marmalade, have been taking the city by storm! The virtuosic solos mixed with a down-low n dirty swing feel capture the soul of jazz and the love of trumpets.
While Trumpet Marmalade's specialty is jazz, they are also active classical musicians and do a special jazz/classical Christmas concert!

1 Review
Trumpet Marmalade went above and beyond my expectations in so many ways. They were super communicative, responsive, and accommodating from the planning stages all the way through my event. And their music - it was beyond fantastic. Everyone was raving about them and still talks about it. I recommend them wholeheartedly!!

About
This quartet is all about "playing" homage to the great Louis Armstrong, the best way they know how, with trumpets! This traditional dixieland ensemble is made up of all brass instrumentation. And what about the rhythm section… who needs ‘em! They don’t need no stinkin’ rhythm section!
The authenticity of this group is what sets it apart from the others. They play all of the famous solos and actually capture that “old sound.” All parts were transcribed by Greg Hammontree and Scott Kulick from those scratchy recordings of yester years.
Additional Booking Notes
This band sets up completely acoustic and does not require a big stage. For a large performance hall, a couple room mics will do the trick. This is old school!
