Title - New Stages
Artist - Mark Wade Trio

For those unaware, New Stages by the Mark Wade Trio marks not only a new album but a turning point in his creative evolution. It’s a moment where his past innovations meet his future ambitions.

This is a collection of new, original jazz works inspired by treasured classical music that he has forged a deep personal connection to over the years and that he is delighted to now be bringing forward in this new format.

Mark Wade is a modern composer with a global perspective, known for his virtuosic command of both acoustic and electric bass and for blending technical precision with emotional depth. His work defies easy classification, embracing the improvisational spirit of jazz while drawing inspiration from classical and contemporary influences. He will also perform four UK shows in March 2026.

1. The Good Doctor Gradus
2. The Elephant’s Lullaby
3. The Shepherd Takes A Turn
4. Cakewalk
5. Saga
6. The Storm
7. Idyll
8. Iberia Part I
9. Iberia Part II
10. Judgement
11. Transition
12. At Rest
13. Waltz And Variation
14. Lament
15. Jesu

Known for his virtuosic command of both acoustic and electric bass and having long been celebrated for blending technical precision with emotional depth, Mark opens his new recording on the joyful bounce of The Good Doctor Gradus, the decadent ballad The Elephant’s Lullaby and the gentle finger-snapper The Shepherd Takes A Turn, and then we get given the buoyant Cakewalk, the emphatically ambient Saga and both the atmospherically-charged The Storm and the luxuriant Idyll.

Along next is the absorbing Iberia Part I and the sprightly fare of Iberia Part II, and they are both in turn backed seamlessly by the veritably cinematic scope of Judgement, the sheer elegance of Transition, the lamenting beauty of At Rest, with the new set rounding out on an emotive Waltz And Variation, coming to a close on the impassioned Lament and the sumptuously sculpted, and a little playful Jesu.

Musicians:
Tim Harrison, piano
Mark Wade, bass
Scott Neumann, drums
