MySpace a place for friends

I am a LA based studio woodwind player(all the saxes, clarinets, flutes and ethnic flutes) and I write music for my own albums, as well as write and produce TV shows, records, for TV commercials, films, etc. I also do arranging and orchestrating.

I've been very lucky since I graduated from Berklee College of Music (... a long time ago) to have had the chance to play with some of the most important people in music. (If you'd like the long list, you can go to http://markhollingsworth.com/bio.html ) I've also had a chance to play with a lot of people that you've never heard of, but who are as good or better than any of the famous musicians.

With the new CD, "Chasing the Sun" it was important to me to to capture the live synergy and spontaneity that happens when you put musicians in the same room at the same time. I really wanted to take advantage of the interaction and risk-taking, which you will NEVER get from a loop!

I've taken a few chances with this project, but I think that the variety and the energy of this music will appeal to many people who are looking for something new and different. I hope that you'll explore the audio samples and really check this project out. There's a lot of music (74 minutes) and I think if you listen, you'll find some really precious moments and real musical energy that is pretty unique these days. Please post your comments when you've had a chance to listen to the album!
