One of the most distinctive electric guitarists playing today, Mark has been called "the six string winged, improvising shaman" (Music That Matters). Words such as "guitar virtuoso" "uplifting" "inspiration" "organic" and "cleansing" (Guitar Techniques Magazine) have been used to describe Mark's playing and music. He has toured extensively across Europe and as far afield as Istanbul with his own group as well as with other jazz groups such as Scapetrace and SMQ.
Alongside his background in jazz, Mark's interest in world music has led him to collaborate with non-western musicians such as Lebanese singer Samia Afra, Turkish musician Gökhan Özyavuz, Zambian singer KT Lumpa and others. As well as jazz, his composing extends into classical forms, his pieces being performed by top classical musicians in NY, London and elsewhere.
