Mark Chosak has been playing guitar for over 27 years and composing professionally for film, television and interactive media for the past 14 years. In addition, Mark is an active session guitarist performing on album recordings, film and television soundtracks and live shows.

 'Perception' is his first solo release of instrumental jazz music and the original compositions on this album span his writing career with influences of straight-ahead and smooth jazz, funk, latin and blues. 

"I have made an effort to offer a variety of music for all listening tastes and present songs which are both melodic and fresh to the ear". 

The album features a line-up of talented Los Angeles session musicians including: Bill Fulton (keyboards), Tom Zink (keyboards), Jason Harnell (drums), Ric Fierabracci (electric bass), Trey Henry (acoustic bass), Bob Sheppard (sax and flute), Anne King (flugelhorn), Ramon Yslas (percussion), and Mark Chosak (guitars). 

"All of the players on the album have made a real contribution to the songs and the recording process, including wonderful solos from Bob, Jason, Bill, Ric and Tom, which I think makes this album so much fun to listen to".
