Mark Winkler / Jazz Life
Mark Winkler started to reveal his songwriting ability in mid 70's. The first well-known tune was "Tropical Nights" performed by Liza Minnelli in 1977. On the other hand, Winkler made demo recordings in order to get an artist deal in those days. He signed a deal with First America Records, Seattle and completed his first solo album "Jazz Life" around 1980. And at last, "Jazz Life" was released by Music Is Medicine, the subsidiary label of First American. As the album title shows, Winkler performs pop jazz tunes throughout the album. And in 2001, Cool Sound reissued this album with an unreleased tune "Jazz Is Alive" originally recorded for this album in 1982.

PM / Street Of Dreams
In spite of commercial success, Warner Bros. did not support PM well enough and obliged to decide to leave the label in 1989. They made a decision to start back in the clubs again, trying out the new songs on the hometown audience. In 1990, the second album "Street Of Dreams" was recorded at the home studio of Jay Oliver and released only on a cassette. The CD version "Street Of Dreams" (1993 limited edition of 2,500 copies) includes "Love Blue", "Kiss And Tell", "Cowboys And Indians" and "Rose In The Rain" additionally recorded in 1991, instead of "Room For Love". It is not known that Jason Scheff joined them on backup vocals on the title track "Street Of Dreams" because we could not find guest credit on the album booklet or back inlay.
