Enjoy this soulful performance of one of my favorite jazz pianists: Michel Petrucciani.  When I started the Overland Jazz Quartet, I knew that I had a powerhouse of talented colleagues culminating on the stage, but I had no idea that we would make music as beautiful as this, with a true homage to the composer.  Shout out to Adam Cohen, Sandro Feliciano, and Luis Mascaro.  The sum is definitely greater than the parts!

Mark Balling – Piano, Sandro Feliciano – Percussion,  Adam Cohen – Bass, Luis Mascaro – Violin.  Performed on August 15th, 2019 at the Luxe Hotel, Sunset Blvd.  L’ermitage Foundation Concert Series.

This was our teaser for our 2019 concert for The L’Ermitage Foundation.

The Bruce Eskovitz Jazz Orchestra (BEJO) performed at the LACMA on Black Friday. Many of my students and parents, and  friends from Saint Mark came to enjoy the concert and to support me. Ours was the last performance of LACMA’s Jazz Concert Series for the season, and will resume in April of 2016.

An extraordinary Rock-n-Roll musical by Los Angeles composer Brian Lapin, with which I had the distinct honor to be a part of as the pianist!   Please go to Tonythehatmusical.com, and check out these amazing compositions by the esteemed Mr. Lapin.   My favorite tracks are “Introduction”, “Home”, “Thirsty for your Love”, and “Braver than you Know”.

This was taken many moons ago at the Industry Jazz Cafe at Culver City.

I was very honored to be asked to play at a Windward School Fundraiser on May 30th, 2015, at one of the Windward parents’ residence at the Pacific Palisades. Bruce, my esteemed USC Professor and now boss at Windward, and I performed a few jazz classics.

My gratitude goes to Bruce for the amazing opportunities he opens up for me.
