About the Artist

He completed formal music studies at Rutgers University (B.A.1979) under the direction of the late Ted Dunbar. Mark has also studied privately in NYC with guitarist Jack Wilkins and participated in numerous master classes, including sessions with Pat Martino and Jim Hall. Mark currently teaches privately and recently conducted clinics and workshops with Tiger Okoshi at Bowdoin College and Univerity of Maine at Augusta. He was also formerly adjunct faculty at University of Southern Maine.

As leader of the Mark Kleinhaut Trio, with bassist Jim Lyden and drummer Les Harris, Jr., he and the trio have performed a repertoire of his original jazz compositions in a wide variety of venues and concert series ranging from the Key Maine Jazz Festival in Portland Maine to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City. In 2002, the Trio made its first European visit with a six city tour of Germany and the Netherlands.

Mark Kleinhaut is a prolific jazz composer and has released three CDs of all original jazz compositions and is presently completing work on a fourth project that features world renowned sxophonist, Bobby Watson, as well as frequent collaborators Jim Lyden and Les Harris, Jr.

Product Description
For his third album as a leader, guitarist Mark Kleinhaut joins forces with trumpeter Toru "Tiger" Okoshi, a versatile, crackling player and world-class jazz veteran. The Japanese trumpeter first gained attention playing with vibist-composer Gary Burton, which led to stints with George Russell's Living Time Orchestra and drummer Bob Moses. Throughout his string of fine recordings for the JVC (Japan Victor Corporation) label, Okoshi has frequently been in the company of great guitarists, including Mike Stern and Bill Frisell. Kleinhaut is a worthy addition to that impressive list.
