As
a young man, Mark was encouraged by his father to compose for the guitar. His
father would also insist “always write it down so that your work will not
go to waste”. Twenty-five years after hearing his father’s words, Mark
pays tribute to him in this collection of all-original solo guitar works influenced
by Spanish, classical, baroque and tonal twentieth-century music.

An extension of Hymnody, Hymnody
Volume II proves that new ideas are not intangible. Echo effects, Irish influence,
variations, Spanish rasgueados, snare drum emulation, imitative writing and Travis
picking all contribute to this well rounded recording of hymn arrangements for
solo guitar. This recording is also available through Amazon.com |

Finding his way back home after a long
departure from classical music, Mark returns to his nylon stringed instrument
and follows his spiritual urge to arrange hymns for solo guitar. All selections
are well developed, creative and inspired works.
“I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the “Hymnody” recording by Mark
Anthony Cruz. I appreciate his fine arrangements and playing of them. It is rare
to hear hymn arrangements of this quality.”

Fuzz is a collection of all-original contemporary jazz compositions.
Unlike his solo guitar recordings, this CD captures Mark in rare form with his
electric guitar performing funk, samba, traditional, ballads and rock influenced
jazz. Mark is accompanied by Brian Gorrell on sax and keyboards, Mike Walker on
drums, Todd Lawton on bass, Woody Lingle on bass, Victor Rook on bass and Gary
Clardy on sax.
