What a delight this website is . Made the snow in New York look like Bondi beach for me . Great to see the master play the piano with such fine support from mark . My hope is that this great website can be expanded to include some historical Australian jazz footage which is sorely missed on the web .
cheers Sean Wayland

Hi Garth, glad you like the music.

Thankfulness was composed by Mark Lau. You could most likely contact him through his website at:
http://www.marklau.org/

Probably worth doing the transcription anyway though ... and the link will remain up on our site indefinitely.

Let us know how you go!

I had heard Mike Nock's work beofore and its enjoyable to see him "in the flesh". Mark Lau looks like a promising talent also.
