Hi,
ich höre gerade das „Land Of Merlin“-Album und habe für meine neugeborene Nichte eine Sicherheitskopie gemacht. Mit eigenem Cover, denn das Original gefällt mir nicht sonderlich. Im Innencover habe ich neben den Titeln auch eine Kurzbio von Amazon eingefügt:
„In the 1960s, Jon Mark was a session guitarist for such notables as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Yardbirds, and Jeff Beck. He also produced Marianne Faithfull’s first five albums. In 1970, he founded the renowned Mark-Almond Band with reedman John Almond. They produced such hits as The City, The Ghetto, One Way Sunday, and What Am I Living For? Those familiar with the songs of the Mark-Almond Band will notice similar qualities in the music on The Standing Stones of Callanish. Jon Mark identifies those qualities as „gentle, soft, introspective, smooth, and somewhat sentimental and melancholy at times.“
Born in Cornwall, England, Jon Mark has always been drawn to Celtic music and mythology. His upbringing took place near the actual site of The Standing Stones of Callanish. He continues to compose vocal music and points out that this all-instrumental release is not meant to be new age, old age, or any age, but is a natural extension of who he is. It attests, in fact, to his creative spirit and his willingness to give life to all the music that is within him.
His other recordings for Kuckuck Schallplatten include The Standing Stones of Callanish and Alhambra, and for Black Sun Music, The Best of Mark-Almond with Johnny Almond. “
Kann ja sein, dass ich in diesem ßrett was überlesen habe, aber wo ist die Verbindung Jon Mark-Beatles? Ich bilde mir ein, in Sachen Beatles ganz ordentlich bewandert zu sein, aber von einer Sessiontätigkeit Marks ist mir nichts bekannt.
