MAIDEN VOYAGE
MVI’s arrangement of the jazz classic “Maiden Voyage” by Herbie Hancock, originally released in 1965. Arrangement by Mark Vickness, performed by MVI.
MANDOLIN SPRING
Mandolin Spring is a collaboration between MVI and the brilliant virtuoso mandolinist, Mike Marshall. Written by Mark Vickness and Mike Marshall, recorded at Opus in Berkeley, engineered and mixed by Dan Feiszli, and mastered by Ayan Mastering.
I WILL FIND MY WAY
I Will Find My Way is divided into three parts. Part One consists of three new compositions written for MVI in its current quintet form. Part Two consists of two pieces for the expanded MVI including percussion. Part Three consists of four pieces recorded in previous albums, which have been re-written and rearranged for the quintet.
IN THE RAIN SHADOW
In The Rain Shadow takes its inspiration mostly from Mark’s experience moving to the high desert (California’s Owens Valley) in late 2020.
INTERCONNECTED
On Interconnected, Vickness has pushed the limits of acoustic fusion, blending many, seemingly unrelated, styles together to create something new and exciting. The song craft and musicianship is top notch and the album is one that reveals more to the listener with each spin.
