Far before then, presently more urgent than now And more permanently than always With more anticipation than next I recall you …calling. Dark and moist inside that horn Like the earth that sprung us forth Calling ever calling out of knowing so much more then can ever be said Distant scales pentatonic rising out of the earthly atmosphere Creating a bridge to a plane without time or boundary Inspiring, urging calling us to be more Third-eye vision translation to sound Calling…listening…calling I recall you calling me

Pain is just the station That also fills the engine You’ve got to learn my friend You’ve got to learn to say goodbye Sticky situation No time for confrontation Letting go letting go is easy when you’re knowing Letting go is easy when you’re… going toward the light White Dog is calling you to recognize (your sister…your brother from another mother) You know those who are your kind You can see itin their eyes When all you seem to do Is to criticize… criticize Only the strong survive Only the strong stay alive in your mind.. Self sufficient…inwardly omniscient That’s the name Self sufficient…inwardly omniscient It’s no game Remembering… the Sacred Trust…Sacred memory Light, truth, Loyalty, Order, Desire, Impulse, Justice

about

Mark Fox's debut album on Cherry Sound Records. Following a journey of over 30 years in the making, Mark Fox has returned to the music world in full-force. Following a 15+ year hiatus, and a deep early upbringing in the music world, under legends Archie Shepp, Yusef Lateef, Marion Brown, Steve McCraven, Warren Smith, George Clinton and hosts of others, Mark Fox is now following his calling and heart as a musician, composer and bandleader.

"Three Octaves Above the Sun" represents the completion of this long hiatus and debut of a long and fertile music career, signified by the powerful sound, transcendental and universal nature of the music of Mark Fox. Supported by some of the best musicians in the business, this album brings the listener on a journey of the heart, mind and soul, and spans the traditional post-bop, progressive jazz to West African influenced jazz worlds.
