After raising a family of three, Canadian-born jazz guitarist Mark Guest finds that the “empty nest syndrome”, or what he laughingly calls “post-adulthood”, offers him great freedom to pursue artistic ambitions. The 48-year old Guest recently moved to the Gulf Coast from South Carolina and is now enjoying life as a jazz guitarist. Mark combines his thirty-eight years’ experience as a guitarist with his life-long passion for jazz to create musical moments of inspiration and transcendence.

Your musical influences

Internationally respected players like Lenny Breau, Ed Bickert, Don Thompson and Terry Clarke were regular staples of the jazz club scene in the 1970’s. Hints of Charlie Christian, Jim Hall, and Joe Pass can be heard in Mark’s fluid, melodic playing.

I really like Bus Stop. Very sombre, almost melencholy feel. Very nice.
Nice, loose version of Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo". You guys have a good group sound. Keep it up.
