Jazz-Blues & Piano

Picture This is a heavenly slice of classic jazz arranging and performance. This endlessly gentle piece is filled with an indescribable yearning and a sense of resigned loss. Emotional and sensitive yet effortless to listen to, thanks to the thoughtful performances throughout. 

Citing influences from John Coltrane and Stan Getz to Pat Metheny, Mark Millington is an entirely new name to the UK jazz community but one with a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to bring to the table. 

Having started his early career touring internationally with groups like Misty In Roots and Kabbala and performing alongside artists like Hugh Masekela and Light of the World, a diversion into behind-the-scenes songwriting and then ultimately raising a family meant Mark didn't follow the path into Jazz that he maybe first imagined. So Picture This, his debut album, is a blessing and a dream come true for both him and us alike. 

Although Mark calls Coventry home his debut album was recorded in New York at the beginning of 2024. Mark's love for classic jazz, blues and bop connected him with American saxophonist and arranger Kenny Shanker culminating in a trip to play with Kenny's band in a small Brooklyn studio filled with vintage equipment perfect to capture this particular record. 

Recorded in its entirety in just 6 short hours, the music is a true expression of a lifetime dream and a work of energy and honesty.


Bustling with the drums and percussion of Ryan Fishler and Ernesto Marichales (Jordan Rakei), melodies delivered on saxophone and guitar by Mark Millington and Jackson Potter, special guests Nick Walters on trumpet (We Fall) and Ruta Sipola on flute (Matilda's Dance), all underpinned by the effervescent piano playing of Addison Frei and driving bass of Yoshi Waki.
