😇Writes Mark:
"Since I have played with artists ranging from more exploratory creators like David Murray and Dave Douglas, to scholars and masters of tradition like Wynton Marsalis and Mose Allison, as well as with pioneers and legends like Betty Carter and Elvin Jones, a masterclass on versatility will be natural for me to talk about and share the things that I do in order to make myself accessible to a wide variety of situations." this way will lead you to greater rhythmic independence, more freedom in how you phrase and new avenues of expression in your playing & composing."

🚀About MARK SHIM:
When legendary vocalist Betty Carter asked Mark to join her band for a three month world tour in 1995. He became the first and only saxophonist that the iconic singer would ever utilize for an overseas tour. Remarkably, Mark was only 21 years of age at the time. Since that auspicious debut, he has made an impact on the musical world with his unique brand of creativity and inventiveness.
Over the course of his twenty year career, Mark has recorded three albums for the prestigious Blue Note label, including the critically acclaimed "Turbulent Flow." He has also had the honor of touring extensively with legendary drummer Elvin Jones in the last incarnation of his “Elvin Jones Jazz Machine” band, as well as with many other distinguished and influential artists, including Terence Blanchard, Terri Lyne Carrington, David Murray, Vijay Iyer, The Headhunters & the Mingus Big Band.
A native of Jamaica who came to the United States with his family when he was five, Mark began playing the saxophone at eleven years of age. He went on to study music at Virginia Commonwealth University and William Paterson University before plunging into the New York jazz scene where he currently resides and is highly sought-after as an educator and performer.
