Mark Bunney, like many of today’s dedicated young musicians, possess a highly developed technical command of his instrument. But what separates him from the others is ability to communicate with the audience. What sets Mark apart is “soul’. He plays with an emotional drive that moves the listener. Look out for Mark Bunney. He is a musical force to be reckoned with.”
Wayne Bucknor, D.M.A
Professor of Piano at Oakwood University
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA
During my twenty plus years at Oakwood I have on several occasions experienced Mr Bunney’s level of musical expertise in performance and teaching of the saxophone. He has achieved a level of expertise that is not easily acquired which speaks of his hard work and diligence in honouring his craft throughout his life. Mark’s unique contributions to the field of Gospel-Jazz are well noted internationally. I have recommended him to other learning institutions and churches.
Prof. Andreas Bochmann, Ph.D

Music is a wholistic celebration of spirituality! Mark's gospel saxophone is not just for entertainment, but helps to enter into a worship experience. The music allows you to express your pain and suffering before God - as I have experienced at my wife's, as well as at my mother in law's funeral. But it also lifts you up before the throne of God in joy and exultation - as I can testify, having hosted a number of concerts for Mark in Germany. It's liberating, energizing and definitely very inspiring!
Pastor Olinto L. Groce
Senior Pastor at North Orlando S.D.A Church
ORLANDO, FLORIDA
Our church is tremendously blessed with a plethora of excellent music. Whether it’s vocal, group or instrumentals our worship service is dynamic and reverberating. We were content until Mark Bunney entered with his saxophone. His proficiency, dexterity and eclectic musical repertoire electrified our congregation, stirred our hearts and soothed our souls each time he ministered. I guarantee you will share my sentiments when you welcome him to your church, attend his concerts or purchase his music. Beyond that, you like me and countless others who have been bathed in his music will be richly blessed.

I first met Mark Bunney in 2017, he participated in our Featured Artist Series where he engaged in a number of performances as well as workshops and individual lessons for the saxophone and flute. During this time he provided mentorship and inspiration to our music student population at the University. A humble, honest, and hard-working individual, as a professional musician and educator he exhibits standards of excellence and dedication that are second to none.
Dr. Kingsley O. Palmer
Assistant to the President for Regional Ministries at the Arizona Conference Corporation of Seventh Day Adventists
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA
In 2009 while pastoring in Reno Nevada, I invited Mark to perform at my church and other local churches in the area. All of us who heard Mark were very impressed with his diverse talents as a saxophonist and his unique eclectic style. The people’s response to his amazing gift and musical capabilities endeared Mark to them in such a way that they desired him to return. I have since then had the pleasure to invite Mark to numerous engagement at church and conference level, including a two week trip to South Africa, and he has become a close friend.
Pastor Eric Stafford
Worship Pastor of Cooper City Church of God
COOPER CITY, FLORIDA
Over the past several years it has been our joy and delight to host and witness the truly exceptional gifts of Mark Bunney in our church’s corporate worship experience. I have seen many gifted and exceptionally talented musicians in my time as a minister and music professional myself, but Mark Bunney is one such person who rises above many! Mark is also a unique educator who has used his innovative teaching methods to assist others at our church.

I’ve known Mark for over a decade and he has proven to be a man of integrity with values and morals consistent with our faith. Mark is a phenomenal inspirational (Christian) Gospel/Jazz artist, with not only the ability to perform, but to also teach. He is a most skilful saxophonist who has put together a system of learning that is most beneficial (saxmastery.com). During my time, as a friend to Mr. Bunney, I have watched him rise to the top of his field of endeavor.
Dr. Warren Stewart

God has gifted Mark Bunney abundantly to use his saxophone to His Glory and for the inspiration of all. The humility and professionalism with which he communicates and interacts with others where he ministers are rare gems. His unbridled love and loyalty for our Lord Jesus Christ are exemplified authentically and unapologetically.
