| Hello! Hello! My name is Richard Marsters. I am an accomplished jazz trumpet, flugelhorn, and flute player. My latest accomplishment is the piano and I am very excited to learn more every day. I am the band leader for a nonet named Cool Shade of Blue, and have the ability to work as a quintet, quartet, trio or duo. I also do a solo 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 albums 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 at various local restaurants & clubs. Please see my performance page for dates and times. 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 |
