Mark Eisenman

Born: June 1, 1955

I'm a jazz pianist in Toronto who's originally from NYC. My latest Cd is a Quintet featuring Mark Eisenman (piano) Pat Labarbera (saxophones) John Macleod (trumpet & flugelhorn) Steve Wallace (bass) John Sumner (drums) playing my original compositions. I've been very active in the Toronto scene. I do a lot of accompanying gigs, playing in many bands. My reputation as a sensitive accompanist for vocalists seems to precede me. I also teach privately, and at York University. Please visit my web site for audio samples of my playing. A few years ago I recorded with Jazz Drummer Jimmy Cobb, when he was at the IAJE in Toronto.

What this means, especially with respect to Apparition, is that Eisenman's ...
