about
Pre-existing Commitments is a composition comprising of four multi-tracked violoncello parts. Each of the four solos were recorded during Mark’s monthly Cello-intern residency at the gallery.
The individual solos were then layered upon one another, without edits, to create a richly textured, quasi-orchestral arrangement.
Recorded at Hundred Years Gallery, August to November 2022
Original recordings by Graham MacKeachan
Mix and realization by Mark Wastell

Live At The Peanuts Club
by Mike Osborne & Friendssupported by 15 fans who also own “Pre-existing Commitments”
Mike Osborne was a very special musician...I remember him as quietly intense and thoughtful and not a seeker of the limelight...I must have seen him play dozens of times in many small venues from ‘68 to ‘75 or so...I loved his playing...a high end technician but full of heart as well as head...I still listen to his music a lot on the original vinyl and i’m so pleased this gig has surfaced. Hugh respect to Jazz In Britain for their whole initiative...you have made an old man very happy...

Interesting new label (as far as I am concerned) and they put out very good live recordings by British jazz legends.
