Mark is deeply immersed in the Cape Town jazz scene performing and recording as a multi-instrumentalist – guitars, vocals, saxophone and his signature instrument piano – for which he won the Old Mutual Jazz Encounters contest in 1999 and launched his career. Mark combines many musical genres in an eclectic approach that has propelled jazz music beyond the known, beyond the chops and phraseology to the ears of non-musicians and the hearts of his community.

I am a Creative African musician. A creative African musician plays highly spiritual music. It cannot be boxed or defined. Mark Fransman
