"The best young guitarist in the business", says The New York Times of Mark Whitfield. He has collaborated with many top jazz artists. On April 15, 2016 Whitfield's immense talents and those of his "Family Band" were on display at the Tavern on the Lake in Hightstown, NJ. A stirring solo rendition of the 1940s jazz classic "Early Autumn" wowed the audience and set the tone for the evening's memorable performance. The Jersey Jazz Connection program host Ron Schotland was on hand to film it for the viewing audience.
