In Mark’s playing one can hear differing influences of the many bands and ensembles, great musicians, and iconic teachers with which he has worked. Dynamic tonal and timbre explorations, polyrhythmic and polymetric applications, organic phrasing, and an exacting orchestral touch combine with hard-hitting rock, groovy soul, frenzied bebop, and infectious hip hop. Underlying all is an old-school, driving swing sensibility rarely heard today. Mark’s classical performances include Portland Symphony, New England Philharmonic, and Indian Hill Symphony. Mark is the Percussion Instructor at Middlesex School, Fenn School, and teaches privately.
