I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of the original quartet recorded in Boston by a radio station in 78.I haven’t played it in months and I’m blown away every time I listen to it. They did a killer version of April Joy and Mark Egan tears up the bass solo. I really miss his playing with Pat from those early days. Nothing against Steve Rodby, but Mark was such a great electric bass player.Has anyone seen him perform lately? Is he touring? I’d love to see him again. |

Hi -m, "Unity Village" is a bootleg of the "Pat Metheny Group – LIVE ON TOUR" Promo LP from 1979 (WBMS 106). Originally it it a 12" record which you can find sometimes at ebay.com. For more info about Pat’s recordings (legal, promo, radio shos a. o.) you can check my website (http://schneeberg.jimdo.com/pat-metheny/) where my Pat collection is listed. All the best from Germany!

According to Michael Franks’ website, Egan is playing with Franks on some dates. I saw him with Franks about 15 years ago and he was very good.

I last saw Mark Egan as part of Larry Coryell’s trio - and with Paul Wertico on drums. That was a couple years ago . . .

By mistake I purchased the Unity Village CD recently. It’s a live recording that was done in 1979 in the "U.S.A.". The recording seems a little uneven by todays standards but the music is fantastic and Mark Egan’s bass playing it really good imo. Some nice versions of Phase Dance and The Epic.

yep! he’s a great bassist! I have 4 of his
CD’s! as far as I know he constantly
records for a lot of people (jazz and non
jazz). His last album was I thing in 2008
and "As We Speak" from 2006 with Danny
Gottlieb (another original PMG) and John
Abercrombie is a MASTERPIECE. Check
also Scott Cossu’s "Islands" CD!
