Mark Turner is an American jazz saxophonist.
He played the clarinet, followed by the alto and tenor saxophones in high school.
In 1990 he moves to New York and worked at Tower Records in New York City for an extended period before working full-time as a jazz musician.
Turner's sound is reminiscent of that of Warne Marsh, but he also has elements of John Coltrane in his playing.
His improvised lines tend to span several octaves and contain great harmonic and rhythmic complexity. His compositions often make use of repeated patterns, odd-metered time signatures, and intervallic leaps.
Turner claims that his music is "unfolding like a narrative".
In September 2014, Turner released his first album as a leader since 2001 on ECM Records; it features trumpeter Avishai Cohen, bassist Joe Martin, and drummer Marcus Gilmore.
Turner is a member of the trio Fly, which includes himself, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Jeff Ballard.
