Legendary Grammy Award winning Bassist releases Super Trio Recording! Contemporary jazz bassist and composer Mark Egan has released his seventh recording as a leader on Wavetone Records in a dynamic trio setting featuring master drummer Danny Gottlieb and brilliant keyboardist Mitchel Forman.
While Mark is best known for his work with the Pat Metheny Group, Sting, Joan Osborne, Larry Coryell, Pat Martino and Gil Evans, this recording features Mark’s powerful yet eloquent solo playing as well as his special ability to support and provide creative interplay for the trio.
The nine stellar original instrumental jazz compositions contain that rare combination of master musicianship and creative soloing from some of the most influential contemporary improvising musicians.
Over the past 30 years, Mark Egan’s ability to groove, perfectly complement the music in any situation and solo expressively has made him one of the most in-demand bass players on the international music scene. While racking up credits with the likes of the Pat Metheny Group, saxophonists Steve Grossman, Dave Liebman, Stan Getz, Sonny Fortune and Bill Evans, vocalist Michael Franks, guitarists Pat Martino, Larry Coryell, John McLaughlin, Alex De Grassi, John Abercrombie, Chuck Loeb and Vic Juris, the Duran Duran off-shoot group Arcadia, the Gil Evans Orchestra as well as pop stars Sting, Joan Osborne, Sophie B. Hawkins, Marc Cohn and Roger Daltry, Egan also went about documenting his singular fretless bass guitar voice in a series of recordings as a leader beginning with his 1985 bass manifesto, Mosaic.
„Forman moves to Rhodes for the simmering funk of “Slinky” and “McKenzie Portage,” collectively boasting Egan’s best solo turns. Elsewhere, “Cabarete” alternates nicely between hummable theme and angular Latin, island riff, which Forman expounds upon for his fiery closing solo.“ (Bassplayer)
