Album Notes

Mark entices the listeners with a rock music foundation combined with jazz cool and swing. He's been around the block on guitar, but hasn't returned yet'

He also doubles on piano / keyboards for textures and inner spaces. His songs cover a wide variety of topics from YoYo's to Social Political events of noteworthiness. There's a twinge Arthur Javnovian confrontation mixed with pure empathy for the lesser human element in the subjects of his songs. These lyrics are woven within polyphonic chord clusters with unconventional pivot note key changes, twisting your anticipation of conventional rock n' roll progressions towards a newer jazz way.
