Works

Known for his traditional, quality bass sound honed through rigorous classical training, Mark brings a natural swing to any band. A graduate of Brown University and Yale Graduate School of Music, he has played with iconic ensembles including the Artie Shaw Orchestra, Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and Glenn Miller Orchestra, touring Canada, Sweden, and the United States. In New York City, he enriched his jazz credentials with jam sessions alongside Ray Bryant and Wynton Marsalis at Small’s Jazz Club. Now based in Japan, Mark has performed at concerts, festivals, and events nationwide, collaborating with renowned musicians such as Tom Pearson, Junko Moriya, Chihiro Yamanaka, and the Tokyo Big Band. His bass playing—melding classical precision with jazz spontaneity—not only captivates audiences but also inspires the next generation of musicians, breathing fresh life into the international music scene.
