Glad to be back is an understatement after Mark's battle with prostate cancer and kidney surgery in 2002 and 2003. He's back and "Glad to Be Back" with David Hazeltine, Peter Washington and Lewis Nash who accompany Mark in a stunning array of originals, standards, ballads and blues. His previous release, "Dream Steppin'" (JEN #9) was his 7th consecutive #1 record on the National Jazz Radio Charts and this one is expected to garner its fair share of radio play and press.
