Eddie Marshall and Holy Mischief
Eddie Marshall, drums. For almost fifty years he has played drums with nearly every major name in jazz, from Freddie Hubbard, Jon Hendricks and
Dexter Gordon to Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Eddie Harris. During the seventies he was the house drummer at San Francisco's Keystone Korner. His most
long-standing musical association has been with Toshiko Akiyoshi, with whom he has played since 1958. Other associations include the late Stan Getz,
Bobby Hutcherson, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Burrell, John Handy, Ahmad Jamal, The Pointer Sisters, Archie Shepp and Bobby McFerrin. He co-founded with Mike Nock
the seminal jazz fusion group, "The Fourth Way".
A consummate sideman, Marshall is in continual demand. In recent years he has performed internationally with Bobby McFerrin's group, BANG ZOOM, appearing
in concert with The Israeli Philharmonic; with Marlena Shaw, Marian McPartland, Charles Lloyd, Art Lande and Rufus Reid; with Bobby Hutcherson and Cedar Walton
at Russian River and with Jon Jang and James Newton in Beijing. He backed Sam Rivers and Julian Priester at Yoshi's and was reunited with Mike Nock
for the Wangaratta Jazz Festival in Australia. He travels to Japan frequently with Toshiko Akiyoshi's trio and was featured in a tribute to percussionists
at the 1999 Monterey Jazz Festival. SFJazz honored Mr. Marshall with its first annual SFJazz Beacon Award in November of 2000.
Eddie's peformance at Chez Hanny with Michele Rosewoman was a highlight of the series, as was his 2005 quintet performance.

Pianist Mark Levine exists simultaneously in the worlds of jazz and Latin jazz. His credits include Woody Shaw, Mongo Santamaria, Joe Henderson,
Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Harold Land, James Moody, Chet Baker, Eddie Harris, Art Farmer, Art Pepper, Willie Bobo, Bobby Hutcherson,
Cal Tjader, Blue Mitchell, Moacir Santos, Milt Jackson, Francisco Aguabella, Eddie Henderson, Tito Puente, Wallace Roney, Conrad Herwig,
Julian Priester, Harold Land, David Liebman, Eddie Harris, Sonny Fortune, Pete Escovedo, Pancho Sanchez, and Charlie Rouse.
Mark began his jazz studies as a teenager in Daytona Beach, Florida, taught by a relocated New York jazz pianist named Joe Pace and continued
his education in Boston with Herb Pomeroy and Jaki Byard. As important as these studies were, nothing compared with playing for a year in
Woody Shaw's quartet. Off-and-on work over the years with Joe Henderson followed. Joe recorded two of Mark's tunes on "Canyon Lady", the late
tenor giant's only Latin jazz album.
A budding interest in Latin jazz led to work in the bands of Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, and Cal Tjader, 5 albums with the latter,
including the Grammy winning "La Onda Va Bien."
Mark also authored "The Jazz Piano Book", which has become the bible for jazz pianists all over the world. In 1996, he completed "The Jazz Theory Book",
with similar success. Jazz Times named "The Jazz Theory Book" as the #1 choice in its "recommended basic jazz library.”
Mark appeared previously at Chez Hanny with his own trio.
