about
Mark Guiliana is an american jazz drummer. Born in 1980 in Florham Park, New Jersey, graduated from William Paterson University in Wayne, lived for years in Jersey City and Hoboken and now resides in Madison with his wife, singer Gretchen Parlato, and their son. Describing the Jazz Quartet’s concept, Guiliana says: “Many of my releases as a leader have been driven by electronic-inspired beats and textures, but with Family First and now Jersey, it felt like the right time to present my music in an entirely acoustic environment. So the Jazz Quartet is my humble attempt to make a personal statement using the traditional palette of saxophone, piano, bass and drums. For the band, this lineup presents the challenge: How creative can we be inside this box – how much freedom and experimentation can we find? And I have to say that it’s always so exciting to hear the guys play this music in ways I never could have imagined.” Members: Jason Rigby - Tenor Saxophone Fabian Almazan - Piano Chris Morrissey - Bass Mark Guiliana - Drums User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
