Formed in 2023, MVI (Mark Vickness Interconnected) is a contemporary instrumental chamber jazz quintet led by composer/ guitarist Mark Vickness. The group blends classical, jazz, world, and progressive acoustic influences into a cinematic, emotionally resonant sound. Their music is defined by intricate arrangements, dynamic improvisational interplay, and a rich palette of acoustic textures. At its core, MVI embodies the conviction that music is the universal language of humanity — interweaving diverse cultures and emotions into a cohesive, transcendent soundscape. Together with elite collaborators, including Grammy-winning violinist/composer Mads Tolling, cellist Joseph Hebert, chart-topping bassist Dan Feiszli, and multi-wind instrumental virtuoso Matt Renzi, MVI crafts instrumental compositions that are both technically stunning and emotionally resonant. Their music offers a deep reflection on life’s tapestry — exploring the full spectrum of emotional themes, all while uniting listeners through shared human experience. In short: MVI doesn’t just perform music, it forges meaningful connections, reminding us that we’re all parts of a beautifully interconnected human story.
