Title: Great Soul Jazz!
Review: I bought this CD around the time it came out. I still listen to it as it has everything, soul, jazz, funk and poetry in a mix that has continuity. It is like a perfect stew. There are serious grooves on this CD by a heavy musician. His trumpet playing is very similar to Miles on Tutu. His singing is very good, scats like mark Murphy and there is some obvious James Moody influence. The covers are done uniquely and the originals are all great. It is unfortunate, no, tragic that there will be no more music from Mark as he passed away from a heart ailment Nov. 1st, 2004. Everybody I have ever played this music for loved it. He spent time in Pat Metheny's band and I have some other music he did with Joe Locke.
