O’s Notes: Mark is back with seven new songs plus four newly arranged classics. He was the unfortunate victim of two surgeries last year. Both were successful and he is as fluent as always, gliding through the notes with apparent ease. He has released 9 new albums in the last decade to establish himself as one of the premier bop guitarists on the scene. Lewis Nash (d), Peter Washington (b) and David Hazeltine (p) make up the rest of the band, an experienced team. Yes, they cook.
