Here are some details about me!
      About Me
Hello!

My name is Richard Marsters. I am an accomplished jazz trumpet
and flugelhorn player. I am the band leader for a nonet named Cool
Shade of Blue, a quintet named Marsters & Johnson and have the
ability to work as a quartet, trio or duo.  I have recently prepared a
single act using prerecorded accompaniment. The single show I
perform is perfect soft music for a restaurant.  It is my philosophy
that food and music are the very core of culture.  It is my goal, with
my single act, to make live music accommodating to restaurants
who believe dining out should be a memorable experience.

Most recently, I attended the University of Southern Maine as a
music student as well as performing and look forward to
completion of my studies.  Previously I attended the Berklee School
of Music in Boston, MA. and spent four years as a featured soloist
with the United States Navy Band.

I have taught private music lessons and worked for many public
schools teaching music, more specifically jazz improvisation
including Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, Westbrook and
Sommerville, SC. over the past 20 years.

I have recorded three compact discs over the past five years and I am
currently working on a new one.

I have over 30 years of performing experience behind me.  I am
ambitious, very outgoing and love performing for people.

I can be seen as the leader of the Marsters & Johnson Quintet every
Wednesday evening, 7p-10p at Zackery’s Lounge & Restaurant at
the Holiday Inn 81 Riverside Street Portland, ME. 04103.  Please
feel free to stop by and check it out any time!

I am very flexible about scheduling and would enjoy the opportunity
to discuss this with you.  If this sounds like something you are
interested in, please call or email me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!


Richard
