Bart Maris

Born: 1965

Trumpet player Bart Maris (°1965) is a musician from the outskirts of jazz. It's not that he doesn't like the downtown club scene. It's that Maris enjoys the arguments and discussions with different genres and different musicians too much, to be able to choose one particular course.

It isn't surprising then that he pops up in a multitude of project pools and groups that are outside of the mainstream.

He becomes entangled in a frenzied affair with two Moogerfoogers and a loop machine, in a solo performance.

With the band, Electric Barbarian he doesn't hesitate in merging hip-hop with a distorted trumpet.

The “Duke” on the phone was Duke Ellington. Hall was an aspiring trumpet player at Texas Southern University. Hours before, he had met Ellington at the Shamrock Hilton show in Houston, where a friend had even bragged about Hall’s musical accomplishments. “Duke says, ‘Oh, yeah? How come he’s not playing in my band?’ and he takes my number down,’ ” Hall said, remembering a conversation from 1972 with the band leader and pianist. “I thought he was patronizing me,” Hall said. The 3 a.m

Marquis Hill
