Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Bass, Drum Set, Piano & Vocal, and sometimes a guitar is added if we’re playing R&B.
Matt Patnode is the lead saxophonist performing on my "Cashmere" Album.
I perform as a single artist or with several band members whom I hire (usually the Mary Marshall Quartet.) I have also performed steadily with the Dick King Classic Swing Orchestra, the Fargo Moorhead Symphonic Band, and the Jazz Arts Group. I was the piano accompanist for the Metropolitan Opera Diva, Kathleen Battle for a few years and she is my best friend. TO HIRE ME OR MY BAND, please contact me at 218-643-3991. I performed for the North Dakota Democratic Convention for Barack Obama. I was music director at WCPO Television Scripts/Howard Productions in Cincinnati, Ohio and performed and played with a lot of national celebrities while in Cincinnati. I have performed extensively at the Colony Beach Tennis Resort on Longboat Key, Florida, and taught classical and jazz piano at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. I also taught and lectured at North Dakota State University and Minnesota State University of Moorhead. My latest Album entitled "Cashmere" can be downloaded on iTunes. I also cantor and play organ and classical/sacred music at St. John's Catholic Church in Wahpeton, ND. I have to mention that I have a very talented son who owns Firewall Productions.
Hi Mary! Thanks for wanting to be my friend. Your music is beautiful and your voice is so sweet ! I wish you all the luck and success in your projects. Keep on Jazzin'
Mary, Thank you for the kind words. Coming from one such as you with that high caliber of talent, it is encouraging. I posted some stuff that I recorded about ten years ago. I have some newer material that is coming out soon. Thanks for letting me add U. Luv ya, Ron
