Mark has performed all over the country with the Trio who have been together for over 10 years. Specialist in the elegant, 'dry martini' sound of Paul Desmond. Recorded two cds, one of which is going to vinyl playing Desmond tunes. I heard Desmond when I was 14 years old, and been trying to be that cool ever since! Absolutely love playing with this amazing trio of incredible players.Londons finest. Other ensembles included, The Groove Warriors, 6 piece classic funk band. MB Big Band. A 17 piece professional big band plus jazz ensembles of various sizes.
