Considering himself a modern day 'Jazz Explorer' Mark continues to discover new and exciting music territories.With the sheer amount of artists heard and undiscovered, it's impossible to narrow down the list to a just a few releases. But one thing that holds true, whether it's technical ability, progressiveness, or music that touches the spirit; it's all about the re-spinability that these recordings garnered on my music players throughout 2010.
