This is a collection of tunes recorded at the late great Greg Lawrence's home studio with Greg Lawrence on piano and Charlie Chadwick on Bass in the summer of 1998. We just played these tunes live with no second takes and no rehearsal and plenty of silly fun.
These are from a 1994 session at Steve Yates studio in Chicago with Jeremy Kahn on piano - George Fludas on Drums and Dennis Carrol on bass.
This is a demo from 1993 of some original music with Rob Whitlock on keyboards on 1, 2, 3 and 5. Todd Hunter on 4 and 7, and John Opferkuck on 6. Kevin Koch on drums. Todd Hunter wrote and played keyboards on the pieces with his name. This was all pieced together over a period of time as a demo for my second cd which never happened.

More Or Less
Humphreys live recording circa 1988
This just showed up when Charlie Chadwick was having lunch with his mother in Nashville here in 2024 and she asked if he could digitize a couple cassettes, one of which was the Mark Lessman Band at Humphreys on a San Diego night in November of 1988 with Mike Peed on keys, Duncan Moore on drums and Charlie on bass. Nobody knows who recorded it or how Charlies mom got her hands on it.
Here's a pic of me from around that time:
These tunes were recorded for a work demo around 1985 with Steve Christie, Larry Moore, and Ricky Gilbert. Steve produced this and sings Muddy Water, oh and is playing bass. Larry plays keys and sings Morning and I will be there for you. Ricky plays drums. This little demo got us a lot of work for a few years and the tune, More or Less which is an original of mine became the title track of my CD above. Steve and Larry are no longer with us making these recordings all the more special.
