In addition to West Coast electronic wizard Scott Steele on guitar combined with the keyboard artistry of Bill Larimer, Mark has added Perry Robinson's prize pupil Rozanne Levine on Alto & Bb clarinets, with long-time collaborator Robert (Mike) Mahaffay on drums, to produce a hard-hitting and sometimes angry indictment of the Bush Crime Family, all without losing the sense of swing and intensity he is known for!!
"Mark Whitecage knocks me out. He has achieved rare union of tradition and innovation all coupled with finesse and at times, raw muscle. He is a totally unique player who raises the spirits of rebellion, while at the same time lifting the music to a new plateau." (Tim Price) Saxophone Journal
"The man is an absolute master of the alto saxophone and clarinet (not to mention a dab hand at electronics), and one of the finest and most original jazz composers in the world, and has been for years." - (Dan Warburton) Paris Transatlantic, Signal to Noise.
