ABOUT "JUMPING THE GUN":The Village Voice"An earth-toned vocal style."Alex Henderson, All Music Guide"One of the more noteworthy [singer/songwriters in the early to mid-2000s]... A pleasing, worthwhile example of what the Big Apple folk scene ... Full Descriptioncan offer in the 21st century."Kiki Alexander, The Music Edge"It's hard to come by an artist who can create a mostly fulfilling record the way McCormick has. His storytelling talents have already set the New Jersey native far ahead of the competition... A sophomore record released by a gifted, up-and-coming indie/folk singer that's worth a second look."Jason Warburg, Daily Vault"This fine disc finds McCormick illustrating his flawed characters' longings through one sharply-rendered musical setting after another... Songs this well-crafted don't need to be embellished with winks, nods or punchlines. Jumping The Gun is a worthwhile purchase for anyone who enjoys a good song, and a songwriter who isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve."Fabio Cerbone, Rootshighway"A refined and intelligent songwriter."Bruce Greenberg, The Promise Radio, Live365.com"One of the best indie releases I've heard this year."Dan Herman, RadioCrystalBlue"One of my real favorite CDs."Pete Harris, Harris Radio"Some superb driving Americana tunes."Jon Worley, Aiding & Abetting"McCormick's...songs have something too say. The solid, yet understated production enhances his writing, making this an album that does, indeed, rise above the ever-increasing pack. "Todd Carlson, 1340 Magazine"In a time when most country artists sound either more pop or rock than country, Fergus McCormick...combines the old classic sounds of country along with a fairly strong folk influence which sets him apart from everyone else."François Braeken , Rootstime"Jumping The Gun"...meets all expectations. Each of these songs could be a brilliant music video, given the right director, due to the wonderful visual imagery they contain. I think things are just beginning for this young romantic.Mark Fisher, CoffeeHouseTourExcellent songwriting abilities... This is one of those albums where you quickly learn the tracks you like best and find yourself going straight to them each time, however the entire album is produced really well and the packaging is great... A nice step in convincing listeners that he has something wonderful to offer." (Editor's pick for July/August 2005.)Heather Cochran, Novelist"Better than 99% of what you'll hear on the radio. His songwriting is some of the best around. There's something unexpected and smart in everything he writes. Truly refreshing."MORE ABOUT "JUMPING THE GUN":McCormick is surrounded by an all-star cast on his newest release, backed by the powerhouse rhythm section of Mike Davis (Norah Jones) on upright bass and Greg Gonzalez (Bob Weir, Greta Gertler) on drums.

Looking beyond the puerile zeitgest that cluttered the charts in 1999, Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz continued to be the epitome of the sensitive lyricist, using songs as a canvas for what was going on in his life. Like its predecessors, THIS DESERT LIFE contains an abundance of musical riches. Camper Van Beethoven/Throwing Muses producer Dennis Herring shares the helm with Cracker's David Lowery. The duo vigorously supports the Crows' homespun leanings while at the same time tapping into the same vein of Americana from which many insurgent country ...

"A slamin' fusion affair"-Bill MilkowskiRecorded Live in Japan, Far East Volume 2 captures Elements at it's finest. "The next generation of great improvisors"-The Herald TribuneAll Star Lineup:Mark Egan-BassDanny Gottlieb-DrumsDavid Mann-SaxGil Goldstein-KeyboardsMark Egan is considered to be one of the most respected and in-demand electric bassists on the music scene today. His unique fretless bass sound and style is both distinctive and versatile and his musical contributions incomparable. With eight platinum & three gold albums to his credit, Mark has recorded with the likes of the Pat Metheny Group, Sting, Arcadia, Roger Daltry and Joan Osborne; performed with the Gil Evans Orchestra, Marianne Faithful, David Sanborn, John McGlaughlin and Sophie B. Hawkins and has added his musical prowess to such movies and television shows as; Aladdin, The Color Of Money, You've Got Mail, A Chorus Line, NBC Sports, ABC's All My Children, CNN/Headline News and numerous award winning television commercials. Born in Brockton, Massachusetts, Mark began his musical studies on the trumpet at the age of 10, mainly through the influence of his father who was an avid player. He continued to play the trumpet through high school in jazz bands, R&B groups, the high school orchestra and started playing bass at age 16. He enrolled in the University of Miami School of Music under the direction of Jerry Coker and studied privately with the late, great Jaco Pastorius whose influence remains with him to this day. "When I heard Jaco play it made me aware of what could be done on the electric bass, particularly with regard to grooving and soloing - - Jaco just made me aware of another way of thinking about the bass and music."While in Florida Mark formed a band with fellow University of Miami students; Clifford Carter (keyboards), Hiram Bullock (Guitar), Billy Bowker (Drums) and Phyllis Hyman (vocals). They came to New York in 1976 and soon afterward, Mark hooked up with the Pointer Sisters, Deodato and David Sanborn. Mark's notoriety was gaining and he quickly caught the eye of U of Miami School mate, Pat Metheny - joining the group in 1977. It was through this association that Mark would team up with Metheny drummer, Danny Gottlieb and go on to form the group Elements. To this day, Elements is one of the most highly acclaimed experimental contemporary jazzgroups in the world. The band has recorded over ten full length albums and have toured in over ...
