Mark Rubinstein’s eclectic taste, his ability on a wide array of instruments, and his short attention span have combined to generate a checkered musical career with a number of strange twists and turns.  Mark’s main instrument is piano, but he has played drums in punk bands, electric bass in salsa groups, and accordion in settings ranging from symphony orchestras to avant-garde theatre pieces.  His interest in ethnic music has led him to seek out performance opportunities in Greek, French, German, Italian, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Brazilian, and traditional Jewish music.    Mr. Rubinstein’s work as a recording engineer has led to Grammy nominations and platinum records for his clients, and his productions are noted for their clarity of sound and attention to detail.  Career highlights include performances (on piano) with legendary jazz flutist Herbie Mann, seminal jazz bassist Eddie Gomez, and saxophonist Bunky Green; membership in influential early Texas punk band The Rejects; and recordings (as engineer) with many noted artists including: Grover Washington, Jr., Shirley Horn, Cher, Liza Minelli, Judy Collins, Najee, Gerald Levert, Scarface, George Duke, Bobby Womack, Backstreet Boys, and Natalie Cole.  Mark is currently the keyboardist in the Celebration Band at Travis Park United Methodist Church and an active freelance musician and recording engineer/producer.
