Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with UK Jazz Singer Mark Kingswood ..  He’s originally from the United Kingdom and has been at it for over a decade. He spoke with me from his new home in Montreal about his debut album – 2018’s CD Strong .. The new album pays homage to the pioneers of the big band genre, including Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett -  bringing the orchestral power ballad to a whole new generation of music fans. His love for jazz, big band music, and pop shine through his evocative songwriting. Click here to listen to the interview. Neon Jazz is a radio program airing since 2011.
