South Australia's Marmalade Trio play an eclectic mix of Latin Jazz
inspired by the music of Cuba and the Caribbean, Brazil, West and Central Africa and New Orleans. Their highly melodic original tunes are augmented by distinctly different arrangements of well-known pop, rock and jazz standards. With three of Adelaide's top jazz and latin musicians Mark Simeon Ferguson on piano (TNT Latinoz, Andy Seymour, Marmalade Circus), Shireen Khemlani on bass (TNT Latinoz, ACME Jazz Unit, Marmalade Circus), and Gilli Atkinson on drums (TNT Latinoz, Caliente, S&D) they are a tight, dynamic unit.

The original Marmalade Trio formed in 1998 and recorded their self-titled debut CD in 1999. They have also made a number of recordings for ABCFM. As a rhythm section they have performed throughout Australia, from Perth to Brisbane, at the Sydney Festival ‘Jazz in the Domain' concert, the Adelaide Festival and Fringe and the Thredbo and Manly Jazz Festivals. They have backed artists such as Lillian Boutte (US), Mark Murphy (US), Eugene Hideaway Bridges (US), Martin Taylor (UK), James Morrison and Todd McKenny.

The new version of Marmalade Trio has worked as the rhythm section for TNT Latinoz for three and a half years. In this time they have developed an impeccable groove and a deep level of empathy and communication which will be documented on CD later this year.
