Mark Brooks is one of New Orleans most talented, versatile, and sought after bassists. He is also a protégée of the great Jazz Master, Alvin Batiste. Mark attended Southern University in Baton Rouge, where he pursued a music degree along with one of his close friends, Branford Marsalis, who later as well as Mark moved on to further his professional career. Mark has toured with an array of artist ranging from Jazz, Blues, R&B, to Gospel. Just to name a few, Mark has worked with Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, Henry Butler, Charles and Aaron Neville, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and recently he’s started working with the Fats Domino Band.
The mission of the Danny Barker Banjo and Guitar Festival is to showcase and highlight the many contributions and accomplishments of NEA Jazz Master Danny Barker: musician, singer, songwriter, educator, raconteur extraordinaire and author – who played guitar and banjo with many top jazz artists over the course of his 70 year plus career – and served as a mentor to numerous young New Orleans artists who have since come to prominence, including Wynton Marsalis, Herlin Riley, Leroy Jones, Gregg Stafford and Dr. Michael White. (Admission to the festival is $15 for adults, $10 for children under 12 & military.)
