This band must be heard – John Shand, SMH, June 19.
With Resurgence the pianist makes it clear that he’s a writer who understands balance and a player who knows the meaning of context and development- John Kelman, ALL ABOUT JAZZ (USA).
Following the release of Resurgence (ABC) the Mark Isaacs Resurgence Band – which plays original compositions by Mark – undertook an Asia-Pacific tour including the Queensland Music Festival and jazz festivals in Japan, Korea and Thailand.
This is the only Sydney date of their extensive 14-concert Australian tour during October and November to all the States and Territories (including the Wangaratta Jazz Festival).
Mark’s achievements as a composer were recently affirmed by his receipt of the 2007 Albert H. Maggs Composition Award from the University of Melbourne.
Seamless in conception, flawless in execution, exuberant in creativity… makes extremely complex music natural and accessible – ALL ABOUT JAZZ (USA).
