“In comprising the music for True Stories, bassist Mark Wade was inspired by a wide range of musical influences. He has distilled the themes from composers such as Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, and Igor Stravinsky to create brand new music for the Mark Wade Trio to explore. The result is a unique expression of jazz liking past and present.”

Voted one of the top bassists four of the last five years by the prestigious Downbeat Magazine Reader's Poll, Mark Wade has been an active bassist in the NYC area for over 25 years. Wade’s albums have received international acclaim that have led to tours in Europe and the UK. His trio, featuring pianist Tim Harrison and drummer Scott Neumann have been called “a trio of unusual strength and power..showing an almost telepathic understanding between the artists.” (LongPlay, Poland)
