Mark Egan - About Now (2014) 320

Contemporary jazz bassist and composer Mark Egan here releases his seventh recording as a leader on Wavetone Records. It's a super trio setting featuring master drummer Danny Gottlieb and brilliant keyboardist Mitch 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 solos from some of the most influential contemporary improvising musicians. About Now is an important bass recording of our time and an absolute must for any creative music listener.
