Mark-Anthony Turnage is a composer of contemporary classical music. Once called “Britain's hippest composer”, he has been in a rock band, got drunk with Francis Bacon, and tackled anything from drug abuse to football in his works. Mark was born in June 1960 in the Thames estuary town of Corringham in Essex. His musical talent was nurtured by his parents and he studied composition at the junior department at the Royal College of Music from aged fourteen. There he met the composer Oliver Knussen who became his tutor, mentor, and life-long friend. His first performed work, Night Dances, written while still at the Royal College, won a prize and heralded Mark's evolution into what one critic calls “one of the best known British composers of his generation, widely admired for his highly personal mixture of energy and elegy, tough and tender”. Greek, his debut opera, a reimagining of the Oedipus myth whose protagonist is a racist, violent and foul-mouthed football hooligan, shocked the establishment, which flinched, but accepted “Turnage, the trouble-maker” as a forceful voice. Over the past four decades he has sustained a distinguished and productive career that has seen him working closely with conductors of the stature of Bernard Haitink, Esa-Pekka Salonen and, particularly, Simon Rattle. He has been attached to prestigious institutions, such as English National Opera and both the BBC and Chicago symphony orchestras, and has written a vast range of music for many different instruments and ensembles. His influences include soul, gospel, all sorts of jazz and the great symphonic works of the repertoire. He has written operas, ballets, concertos, chamber pieces and choral works together with orchestrating a football match. His key works include Three Screaming Popes and Blood on the Floor (both inspired by Francis Bacon paintings, and the latter containing an elegy for his younger brother, Andrew, who died of a drug overdose in 1995), as well as more operas including one about the former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith. Mark lives in North London with his partner, the opera director, Rachael Hewer. DISC ONE: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 II. Molto vivace - Presto - Molto vivace – Presto. Composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven and performed by The Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle DISC TWO: St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 Pt. 1 No. 1, Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen.

This episode is the WORLD PREMIERE of “Lou's Blues”, my new single. As I've mentioned several times on the podcast, I came of age musically during the British Invasion era of the 1960s, and then I segued into the Jazz Fusion era of the 1970s. That era was dominated by incredible bands like Weather Report, Return To Forever and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. My band, Sagov, was a part of that scene.What I loved about jazz fusion era was how it combined the power of rock with the sophistication and improvisation of jazz. “Lou's Blues” is inspired by that era. I call it a tone poem. It's a musical journey. I wrote it in the recording studio and we did it in one take.Mark Egan, acclaimed bassist with the Pat Metheny Group, Elements and Gil Evans, calls the track “Fantastic! Great playing and production!” Peter Erskine, Superstar drummer with Weather Report, says “Digging It!”The track features my band, Project Grand Slam, consisting of Tristan Clark on guitar, Baden Goyo on keyboards, Joel E.

After high school, Bill was accepted to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. There, he studied with the great Emory Remington. While still a student, Bill began his recording career by playing lead trombone on several Chuck Mangione albums, a couple of albums with the Eastman Wind Ensemble (one on bass trombone and another one on euphonium), and the first recording of Leonard Bernstein's “Mass” (on bass trombone) which was composed for the opening of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.  After graduation, Bill toured for while with the Buddy Rich Big Band on bass trombone.

At the same time, Bill was also the solo jazz trombone player on Don Menza's big band and he recorded solos on an album with the band. Don put together a sextet out of the big band and featured Bill on tenor and bass trombone on a recording with that band.  As a studio player, Bill has played on about 2000 records, 1000 motion pictures, and countless TV shows and jingles.  Bill's jazz quartet album "Special Edition" (Nothing But Bills Records) featuring Peter Erskine on drums, Jimmy Johnson on bass, and Biff Hannon on piano, reached number 10 on the national jazz radio play lists.  New York trombonist Mike Davis and Bill have done 4 albums together - “Bonetown”, “Brass Nation”, "New Brass" and most recently, “Absolute Trombone II” and have played concerts all over the United States, Canada, and Europe.  Bill has been a featured artist and clinician at several International Trombone Festivals including Utrecht (Holland), Nashville, Urbana (Illinois), North Texas State University, and most recently Las Vegas (2007), and Salt Lake City (2023).  Some of the artists Bill has recorded with:  Michael Buble, Harry Connick, Jr., The Jonas Brothers, Christine Aguilera, Seal, Mya, Quincy Jones, Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Toto, The Yellowjackets, Seawind, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, David Foster, Aretha Franklin, Al Jarreau, Earth Wind and Fire, Dr. John, Arrowsmith, and Ray Charles.  Some of the motion pictures which Bill has played on are:  “Indiana Jones 5”  "Wolverine"   "Night in the Museum 2"  “Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Crystal Skull”  "Up"  “Sex in the City”  “Hancock”  “Ratatouille”  “Spiderman 3”  “Hairspray” “Dreamgirls”  “Transformers”  “American Gangster” “Wall-E”  “I Am Legend”  “Dreamcatcher”  “X-men II”  “Identity”  “The Core”  “Daredevil”  “Red Dragon  “Chicago”  “Men in Black II”  “XXX”  “Training Day”  “Spiderman”  “Collateral Damage” “Black Hawk Down” “Planet of the Apes” “Monsters, Inc”  “Don't Say a Word” “Zoolander”  “Princess Diaries”  “American Pie 2”  “Legally Blond”  “Scary Movie 2”  “The Mummy Returns” “Evolution”  “What Women Want” “Proof of Life”  "X-men"   "Space Cowboys"  "Remember the Titans"  "Meet the Parents"  "Family Man"   "Charlie's Angels"  “The Matrix”  “The General's Daughter” “The Green Mile”  “South Park”  “Sixth Sense'  “Deep Blue Sea”  “Toy Story 2”  “Magnolia”  “Stuart Little”  “Galaxy Quest' “Reindeer Games”  “U-571”  “Godzilla”  “Contact”  “Conspiracy Theory”  “The Jackal”  “Alien Resurrection”  “Men in Black”  “Air Force One”  “Batman and Robin”  “Forrest Gump”  “Independence Day”  “Mars Attacks”  “Hercules”  “Mission Impossible”  “Batman Returns”  “Twister”  “The Rock”  “Starship Troupers”  “The Frighteners”  “Jurassic Park”  “Nixon”  Bill is an Artist-clinician for the Greenhoe/Shilke Co.
