Jazz guitarist Mark Elf has had six consecutive #1 albums appear on national radio's Gavin Jazz Chart, and this new recording is headed in the same direction. He presents his trademark, smoking guitar work in a trio setting along with 2 outstanding solo performances, with Mark playing a bass line, chords & a solo simultaneously. He also performs a rubato called "America," inspired by recent events. The CD is a mix of standards & originals with bebop, Latin, ballads & blues grooves.
