 REVIEWS
“Mark Ginsburg communicates his sincere warmth through an overflowing love for music, the saxophone and life. His melodic lines sing with hope and majesty and he builds each solo into a solidified whole that resonates with logic and direction. Mark has chosen his material with taste and good pacing and has surrounded himself with a most excellent cast of supporting musicians. The original music he has composed is engaging and superbly arranged and performed.” - Gordon Brisker, reknowned US saxophonist, arranger and composer
“Mark Ginsburg is a warm and talented saxophonist whose love for music making is clearly evident in both his beautiful compositions and his hearfelt playing.” - Mike Nock, acclaimed pianist and composer
“In exploring his musical roots Mark Ginsburg has made intriguing discoveries. He has honored those insights here in a fashion that has produced a truly unique and listenable jazz album. This is an historic offering.” - Bruce Cassidy, Jazz trumpeter, composer & arranger (Blood Sweat & Tears, Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye)
Mark Ginsburg emerged as a saxophonist of note in Cape Town where he frequently performed at popular jazz venues such as the Hohenhort as well as performing in shows, television programs and on tours, including a two-month tour working with notorious British comedian Spike Milligan. Since migrating to Australia, Mark has performed and collaborated extensively with vocalist Judy Campbell. Mark completed a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium in 2003 and is one of the founding members of Judy Campbell's MOSAIC, contributing compositions and arrangements for the band.
Mark is currently undertaking a Master of Music course at the Sydney Conservatorium, focusing on music of Jewish origin. The Mark Ginsburg Band has recently released a new album called Generations featuring material drawn from his research work:
“The things that drive my musical explorations range from the experience of singing in a synagogue choir as a young boy, listening to melisma of the hazzan through to hearing strains of Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane playing on my elder brother’s monophonic turntable when I was too young to operate it myself. I am also inspired by the contemporary jazz emanating from the highly creative music scene in Australia.” |
