One of the most important and accomplished musicians and producers has made a dent on the New York City music scene. As of the last 15 years, McDL has been on the cusp of the resurgence of music production where it’s become more of an art and value of substance artistically. Mark de Clive-Lowe is a name that you’ll need to place in your memory banks for years to come. The New Zealand native has jet trekked all over the world studying, playing, and producing music here and abroad. Now, he’s bi-coastal hosting a monthly residency called “Church” here in New York at Club Drom and in LA where currently lives at Angel’s Piano Bar. His acoustic jazz set is a also a hybrid of his improvised electronic and broken beat set, and him serving as a DJ at the end of his set. The Mark de Clive-Lowe Experience is the live adaptation of what and how he produces his music in the studio with special guests that pop up from time to time.

 

In 2000 Mark broke unto the scene as a jazz pianist with his debut “Six Degrees” to critical success overseas. By this time he’d already spent time around the world like Cuba, Japan, France, and parts of the US. While he was in the UK he’d play with some of pioneers of the Nu Jazz and Broken Beat music style ranging from Restless Soul, Bugz In The Attic, 4 Hero, and I G Culture. It was at the same time Mark would develop his skills as a musician and later producer.

 

While growing up in New Zealand Mark learned how to play the piano and become a novice of jazz and other forms of American soul music.

 

In the past decade he’s collaborated on over 250 releases with artists ranging from Sandra St. Victor, Shirley Bassey, Leon Ware, Jody Watley, and Jill Scott. Mark has been often compared to some of his other contemporaries like Quantic, Flying Lotus, and Thundercat. His serious minded love for the elders of this music has allowed him to produce real music that straddles the line of jazz, soul, and Broken Beat. Mark’s fresh and raw approach in the studio is why he’s one of the most requested in-demand producers on the scene. Everyone wants to work with him and the artists who’ve collaborated with him respect his vision and tireless spirit.

 

His latest disc “Renegades” on the Tru Thoughts label is his 9th release. After being in the UK for a decade, Mark moved to Los Angeles where he’s segued from his West London past to produce a more fluid earthy record reflecting his time in California. The disc features special appearances from Omar, Nia Andrews, Sheila E, Tawiah, and Ovasoul7.

 

I highly recommend you check out Church whether your in LA or New York City. Or, go online and order his other projects. For upcoming residency and club dates, please visit Mark online at www.markdeclivelowe.net.

Date: 12/02/2009

Location: Connections Nightclub

What: Mark de Clive-Lowe & Vanessa Freeman

 

I forgot to bring my camera tonight. Total noob! But there were plenty others who brought cameras, so I got a friend to take my picture. But he never sent it to me. Thankfully there's facebook, so I got to steal a crappy quality photo from there. I figure since facebook owns everything we put there, it wouldn't hurt to take some of it back.

 

A friend, PMI, was the organiser of the gig, so I had to go. And I'm glad i did.The concert was great, even for a schoolnight. They were relatively new to me, so I listened through some borrowed albums all day at work/home. But they were heaps better live. The crowd was good too, just a shame not people showed up.

 

And yes, I am in that shot. See if you find me without mousing over.

I found it quite funny, that Mark had his setup right next to the 'L' and 'A' letters forming the name of the club on the wall, since he just recently moved from London to that West Coast city :)
