US keyboardist, mainly in the jazz / fusion genre (* 1949 or 1950; † 20 June 1999).
Superfriends, which appeared before here with Nakamura:
A project group with various session/studio musicians from the fusion jazz genre. Different selections of the artists collaborated on releases by guitarist Barry Finnerty, saxophonist John Stubblefield, pianist Jorge Dalto, keyboardist Mark Gray and bassist Teruo Nakamura. Related to various musicians line-ups from the Teruo Nakamura Rising Sun Band. Nakamura also produced most of the Superfriends recordings.
Sadly Mark only made these two albums, Boogie Hotel and The Silencer both of which are quite similar in style, that being the smooth US early 80s fusion style of course, mostly instrumental but with a commercialese vocal track on the 1982 album.
The track called Night Watch has a distinct Dave Grusin sound to it, imho as the kids say (and by kids as usual I mean anyone under the age of 40):
