This week, I would like to present a hot new jazz guitarist on the
scene. Mark Mosley is a fine player and also writes for several online
guitar journals. At the bottom you can find links to to his recent interview with
Jazz Guitar Life, and his section of articles and sound clips at
ModernGuitars.com.

Check him out. It will be well worth it…

Bio

Born into a Military family, Mark Mosley lived in Germany as a young
child and later lived in various states in the U.S. He played football
in the J.V and Varsity leagues as Quarterback. After his High School
Jazz ensemble performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, he gave up
football to pursue music in the Army Band field. While in Korea and
Germany he continued to hone his jazz chops, but didn’t really start an
intense period of ‘sitting in with greats’ until he was stationed in
N.J. While on active duty with the 82nd airborne he earned the C-1
qualifier, which qualified him as a guitarist for any special band based
on sight reading abilities.

He elected to leave a special band in Germany to pursue making a living
solely as a Jazz guitarist. Upon returning to the States he earned his
B.S degree. Following that, he toured Spain with Lou Donaldson and
played at the Village Vanguard with Keter Betts and Gary Bartz. He has
performed at many other events that include TV and radio appearances
and at major venues such as the Montpelier Arts Center.

The Mark Mosley Trio is featured every Saturday at the Sala Thai
Restaurant at 1301 U Street NW in Washington. D.C. As well as being an
accomplished player, Mark sings and writes his own material and like many
great guitarists before him, has chosen to be lead his own
ensemble.

Mark’s homepage is at http://www.markmosley.us . Be sure to look out for his new
Myspace website that will contain scheduled performance information and
other features.
