Mr. B knows the complete legacy of Blues piano. Not many pianists in this style play with more conviction.

If it's unadulterated blues piano you're looking for, look no further than the work of Mark Lincoln Braun AKA Mr. B. Braun is a blues pianist and student par excellence, a remarkable musician who is a reminder that blues piano is a different animal than jazz piano and one with just as many facets. If you're any kind of piano fan, you need to hear this guy.

Mark "Mr. B" Braun puts his own imprint firmly on the tradition of blues and boogie woogie piano.... In the course of a live recording, such a diverse collection of tunes can be a detriment, but on My Sunday Best, the changes in direction serve to literally amaze the listener, taking them through a range of moods and colors that are generally not experienced in such a setting. Truly, in Braun's hands, musical genres are bent into a pervasive whole, with no regard for anything but the purity of intention and the transference of joyous emotion. ... This is musical empathy at its best. ... This is not just a case of a local boy making good, this is a statement of a world class musician playing for his home-town fans.

Great variety, the blues from all sides, diversity of mood, texture, and style. Mark Braun has added something of his own to a great tradition.

Mark Lincoln Braun has developed a very personal style of playing boogie woogie from his wanderings across America to meet such old time performers as Blind John Davis, Little Brother Montgomery and 'Champion' Jack Dupree. There is a noticeable blues inflection in his playing which can be savored.

Mark Braun (a.k.a. Mr. B) is a pianist from Michigan who plays boogie, blues and gospel as strongly as anybody I've ever heard under the age of 60.... This man is a master of all the old styles.

    -  CADENCE MAGAZINE, review: My Sunday Best

Mr. B doles out more deep blues ... What separates B's shopworn riffs from those of a thousand other piano players are his patience - he is never in a hurry - and that weird intangible we write off as "feel," which invest the ancient licks with a kind of slow-motion urgency. Too many bluesers get no further into the style than the surface; B seems to have been rooted in it since tripping across his first flatted third.
