Music
Mark Deo is a musician as well as author and
serial entrepreneur. The music on this CD was
inspired by his many travels around the world.
Thus the title Distant Places. It
contains influences of Flamenco Classical,
English Rock, American Jazz, Asian Kyoto, Middle
Eastern Arabic and Pacific Island flavors.
He was classically trained at Rowan University
and studied with the Philadelphia Classical
Guitar Society.
Mark's musical background includes a world tour
with the 1976 rock band Heavy Traffic,
appearances on Manhattan cable and NJN, back-up
for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and
his lead guitar licks were a staple of the N.Y.
Village scene and the New Jersey shore clubs of
the mid-70s and early-80s.
Appearing on this album with Mark is keyboard
wizard James Healey, the world's greatest bass
player, Jaco Patorius from Weather Report fame
and South Bay classic rock sensation Eric
Bjerke.
We hope you enjoy these home-spun selections
recorded in Mark's own studio.
