Doug Morton has chops to spare in both classical music (as the long-time principal trumpet player in the Santa Rosa Symphony) and jazz. In the latter genre, his compositions and arrangements have been recorded by the Electric Squeezebox Orchestra and Dave Scott's Trumpet Supergroup, among others. Styles range from straight-ahead bebop to Brazilian grooves to adventurous, free-wheeling compositions.
Doug Morton is a versatile and wildly creative composer with deep roots in the Bay Area jazz community. Doug’s music is imaginative, harmonically rich, and full of surprise — the kind of tunes that reveal new layers each time you play them.
