About Me |
|
| Mark Towns, virtuoso guitarist and prolific composer, is best known for creating guitar-based instrumental Afro-Cuban Jazz, producing a sound which blurs the lines between Latin Jazz, Flamenco Jazz, and Salsa. His music has the rare quality of being both esoterically hip, yet universally accessible. Whether burning hot or flowing cool, Marks music retains a magical, other-worldly feel. | |
