Will and Brian Jazz Duo Jazz Ensemble from Boulder, CO

Will Morrison has been a musician from an early age, beginning violin at age 8. Taking up guitar a few years later, his calling seems to have been found and it was on guitar that he studied and graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1979. Since then, he has played in bands of many types, including steel drum, Hawaiian, Country Western, jazz, blues, pop, rock, experimental and original music as well as playing as many theater shows as possible. Instruments he plays include guitar, bass, tenor banjo, violin, mandolin, ukulele, lap steel and tapping guitar. He's working on pedal steel as well. He also builds some of the instruments he plays, including the tapping guitar in the pictures in this package. Brian Trumble is originally from Boulder and began playing music at an early age in the public schools. He eventually attended the Berklee college of music in Boston where he studied jazz bass. After moving to New Jersey, Brian gigged extensively in rock, jazz and blues settings in the New York area. He has played at the festival at Sanpointe under the direction of Gunther Schuller. Also playing Birdland the 55 bar and Arthurs Tavern in New York regulary. Upon leaving the New York area he moved to Rome Italy where he toured with an Italian rock group by the name of Fleurs du Mal. This band toured Holland and Sardinia and much of Italy. He began working with Will in about 2008 and since then they have played many clubs, restaurants and retirement homes in the Boulder area. As a duo, we've been together for a decade, playing for all sorts of audiences with a particular fondness for restaurants, private parties and retirement homes. Our song list works well for these audiences, and we take requests if we know them. We can also augment the band and add drums, keys, horns, additional vocals or whatever would suit the event up to a full big band.
