With One Hopeful Day, it becomes abundantly clear that pianist Mark Soskin has learned one primary lesson from his many sideman gigs: how to stock your ensemble with the best and the brightest. His quartet on this album includes Chris Potter, recognized as possibly the leading saxophonist of his generation through his own records and his work with Dave Douglas, Dave Holland, Steely Dan, and Paul Motian; bassist John Patitucci, whose thick, rubbery sound may be one of the only that can stand up to Soskin's jabbing left hand, and has also buoyed the likes of B.B. King, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Stan Getz; and the remarkably intuitive Bill Stewart, longtime drummer for John Scofield, who has also worked with Maceo Parker, Joe Lovano, and Dave Holland.

One Hopeful Day begins and ends with Soskin's delicate, emotional solo piano. The album kicks off with a brief, hushed introduction which suddenly takes off at a gallop as Stewart begins a skittering rhythm over which Potter blows a sauntering "On the Street Where You Live," the first of Soskin's radical rearrangements of well-known melodies. Even more drastically reimagined is Thelonious Monk's "Bemsha Swing," taken at a jittering, stop-start pace, with an interlude newly composed by the leader.

Soskin also offers an urgent take on Chick Corea's "Innerspace," which he first encountered as a sideman on a 1995 date with vibraphonist Joe Locke and has since wanted to revisit; the Rodgers and Hart standard "It's Easy to Remember," rendered with a warm embrace, both forceful and soothing; and an upbeat "End of a Love Affair," the Edward C. Redding composition best known for vocal renditions by Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and Julie London.

The quartet is joined on two of the three Soskin originals by fellow Berklee grad John Abercrombie, whose wiry guitar runs a footrace with Potter's tenor on "Step Lively" and reaches skyward with his soprano on "Strive." The final new number is the title tune, a wistful ballad that vividly showcases Soskin's emotional side.

The CD closes with Soskin alone on Clare Fisher's "Pensativa," where the pianist's influences congeal, part conservatory and part nightclub, swinging and cerebral. It's the perfect close to an album that leaves listeners hoping that Soskin will take charge more often in the future.

One Hopeful Day indicates the relative dearth of recordings with Soskin as a leader is not due to any lack of leadership abilities. Though he cedes generous amounts of spotlight to the other members of his quartet, Soskin is always in control, navigating the pathways along his six surprising reinventions of jazz standards and three powerful originals.

Beside his seven previous albums, Soskin's sensitive piano has accompanied Sonny Rollins, Herbie Mann, Stanley Turrentine, Gato Barbieri, Claudio Roditi, Hendrik Meurkens, and David "Fathead" Newman, among many others.


...soskin's touch is authoritative, crisp and relentlessly creative... enjoyable on many levels, keep an eye out for it

...a full-on, force-8 gale and it will rattle cages... thoughtful arrangements and joyous, two-fisted playing are the key to the album's success

...a superb pianist..."One Hopeful Day" is elegant and accomplished

Mark Soskin

Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jul 12, 1953 in Brooklyn, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Neo-Bop, Post-Bop

A longtime sideman, most notably with Sonny Rollins, Mark Soskin has only had rare opportunities to lead his own sessions. He began taking piano lessons when he was seven. Although he later considered Cedar Walton to be his most important influence, Soskin actually spent his teenage years playing often with R&B bands. He studied classical music at Colorado State University in 1971 but transferred to the Berklee School of Music the following year. In 1975, he moved to San Francisco where he worked with Azteca, Joe Henderson, Bill Summers, Pete Escovedo, and Billy Cobham, touring with the CBS All-Stars, a group that also included Cobham, Tom Scott, Steve Khan, and Alphonso Johnson. During 1978-'90 and occasionally afterwards, Soskin was a member of Sonny Rollins' band, recording many sets with the great tenor. Since then he has remained active in the San Francisco Bay area. Soskin has recorded several dates as a leader, including Rhythm Vision for Prestige (1979), and Solo Piano for Vartan Jazz (1996).
