About the Album

"The Mark" is a track off of jazz saxophonist, clarinetist and composer Aaron Irwin’s striking new album, “A Room Forever.” The album features twelve original works of music, each of which is a reflection of one of the twelve published short stories by critically acclaimed West Virginian author Breece D'J Pancake. In addition to Irwin's strikingly melodic clarinet playing, three noted New York-based musicians join him on this powerful release: trombonist Matthew McDonald, bassist Thomson Kneeland, and guitarist Pete McCann. “I have been working on this project with these guys for well over a year and have been so pleased with how the music has evolved over that time. These three musicians have such strong musical voices and were able to shape the music in a way that is both highly musical and uniquely personal. I couldn’t ask for more.”
