O’s Notes: Mark Lettieri is a contemporary jazz guitarist with a warm, liquid attack that amplifies the melodies on seven original compositions. He adds distortion on a couple of tracks that will excite the progressive rock/grunge crowd. Bassist Braylon Lacy and drummer Jason Thomas help keep things funky along the way. Among the best are “Extra Special”, “Intro”, “Outro” and the title track. All together this is just under 30 minutes of music but we thank Mark for not adding irrelevant and less desirable filler to Futurefun.
