Wonderful playing as always Mark, but also the tone you get is all your own. I loved the classical part at the start and as has been said, the way you just move seamlessly into Jazz, Wonderful, regards M |

It's alway great to hear a new one from you Mark. and this is no exception. Loved the prelude, but it took off hen you got into the jam. Great sounding as always my friend, and very cool playing. Thanks for sharing Mark. Be well and be cool, Ed |

you you wrote this? damn. this is genius stuff, man! very nice dissonances everywhere. sure some of the bass lines are 'jazz standards' but all the directions this goes in and effortlessly resolves all the time is just awesome! seriously cool! |

Mark, I've come to decide that its not your recordings but my ears that are a little dull (from an audio point of view of course, your playing is NEVER dull!) at times :) This is really beautiful - not sure what else I can say. Lovely! Neil |

delicate, yet forceful There's such a light touch that the forceful movement of this swinging piece sneaks up on you almost unnoticed, but it's undeniably there. The coordination involved that it takes to play this is one thing, but it's really the style you put into it that impresses me. And I like the guitar slapping, too! |

AGAIN! Virtuoso. Perfectly understated Production Values. Beyond, even, what I was prepared for (and that's High, already!). Compliments and Best Regards, Humbly, Cooper |

stunning I couldn't even dream how to play like this... Just pure fantastic, and you have such great timing and are able to make sweet music, although you're using a very advanced playing technique. BRAVO:) |

~ Wonderful meld of classical and swing, Mark. First tune since returning from Vermont. Couldn't have asked for more. Bob |

Really nice! Beautifully done. Apart from the fact I just couldn't play like that I wouldn't be able to sustain it over a 3 minute piece :-) Cheers Dick |

Great! I have a guitar jazzbox that could have good use of your fingers! You play like I wish! I hope for Brian to have a musical life. And that's a a good thing. (pardon my Tarzan english!) macoco. |

2 in 1 Mark, excellent playing with out doubt. With that said, I was really impressed on how you blended the 2 styles into one, the transition came off smoothly. |

Swing out brother A very nice groove. I think you should have left the slaps in.... (So what's the name of your next piece going to be? Prelude and toast?) |

Blue thumb Wow, it's just always great to hear you play for us. You have the guitarist's equivalent of the gardener's green thumb... a blue alternating thumb? In this case it's swingin. |

Exquisite I'd say this the most perfect guitar playing since Charlie Christian. |


























Well, you're just phenomenally musical, no question. You play your classical intro with beautiful expressiveness (I'd like to hear you play some Tarrega some time!), then move into the swing feel incredibly naturally, as thought the two styles were always meant to coexist. The way you play them, they do! Bravo!
