• My name is Jason William Marshall Sr.  I am 30 years old. Married. Father of two children. I was born in Washington, D.C. – raised in Silver Spring, MD.
• Undergrad from the New School. Masters from the Aaron Copeland School of music. I’m a professional saxophone player, arranger, composer and wardrobe consultant.  I’ve given talks on jazz, black history and menswear on a high school and college level. I live in Manhattan, NYC.
• I remember jazz for as long as I remember hearing music. I did not gravitate towards it. It was always there.
• I play the saxophone because that was what appealed to a 9-year-old kid in the 4th grade when we all chose instruments.
• The only setbacks I’ve faced professionally was taking too long to realize that ethical behavior in the this business largely in effigy.  I wised up, though. I have been better for it every day since.
• The most memorable experience as a professional would be the first time I played the Playboy Jazz Festival in LA. – 10,000 people, celebrities EVERYWHERE, Roy Hargrove and a ROTATING STAGE. I was 20 years old.
• My favorite artists are Cannonball Adderley, Stanley Turrentine, Dexter Gordon and Grover Washington.  They all had an unmitigated joyousness and grace in their playing, and were very articulate in their presentation.
• In the future, I see myself as wealthy beyond measure, successful beyond any logic, a blessing to anyone within earshot, and the husband, father, son and brother to a healthy, happy and whole family.

The indomitable pea coat…immediately thoughts summon the visual of a rough and ready autumn/winter coat, more than ready to engage the impending onslaught of cooler temperatures. Fashioned with its signature double-breasted construction, heavy woolen fabric, and broad lapels for added wintry protection; the pea coat is a piece of outerwear that every – yes, every – gentleman should have hanging in the closet. Here, with the assistance of one sharp brother, Suit Supply shows you the how and why. Boom!
