Shotgun Jazz Band

““Marla Dixon’s uncommon and exuberant spirit, which comes through in both her trumpet playing and spectacular singing, is so forceful that she immediately dominates any context she appears in, not unlike Kid Thomas Valentine. When she leads, it’s always about groove and feeling and, no matter who’s in the band, it’s her spirit that prevails, and the results are always exciting.” — Orange Kellin, Clarinetist & Bandleader
