An intimate and interactive tribute to the great composers of jazz—Ellington, Parker, Monk, and more—featuring legendary drummer John Engels and young Canadian bassist Zack Lober from NYC.
The 2019 album The Wroclaw Sessions by the Mark Lotz Trio made a major impact, earning two ‘Best of 2019’ selections from the prestigious NYC Jazz Records Magazine. The reviews speak for themselves: All About Jazz (USA) “Mark Alban Lotz is bringing sexy back into jazz”. UKVibe (Great Britain) “This is the spirit of jazz in its truest form”.
