This Canadian team from Montreal is practically solo project of Frank Marino (Francesco Antonio Marino, born November 20, 1954). Half Italian, half Arab, this guy only finished seven grades, after which he dropped out of school and joined the ranks of hippies. As it turned out, hippies are not only peace and love, but also drugs. Marino did not escape this fate, whose experiments with LSD brought him to a hospital bed. After undergoing treatment, Frank decided to direct his energy to a safer business. At the age of 16, he founded "Mahogany Rush" together with Paul Harwood on bass and Jim Ayoub on drums. Marino's idol has always been Hendrix, and this fact determined his playing style for many years. Having signed a contract with a small Canadian label "Kat'Ai" in 1972, the group recorded their first album, "Maxoom". It was sustained in the Hendrix spirit, and the composition "Buddy" was dedicated to the great Jimi. In Canada, the record did not receive due attention, but some songs from it were played on FM stations in the northeastern United States.

On the next two albums, Marino continued to hone his mastery of the instrument, using sharp, heart-rending riffs. The record "Strange Universe" became one of the best works in the discography of "Mahogany Rush". The disc contained a series of cool things, such as "Land of a 1000 Nights", "Moonlight Lady", "King Who Stole The Universe", "Satisfy Your Soul". The group continued to be more popular in the States than in their homeland, and in 1976 the contract was re-signed with "Columbia Records". After experimenting with mellotrons on "Mahogany Rush IV", the Montreal trio recorded a strong album "World Anthem".

The title instrumental track and the composition "Requiem for a sinner" became regulars on many North American radio stations. The following year, the band's first live album was released, entitled "Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush" (the band was now called by this name). In addition to their own songs, the album also contained interesting covers of Moore's "I'm King Bee", Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" and Hendrix's "Purple Haze" (this composition always closed Mahogany Rush concerts). Another "live" appeared next, also hiding several pearls - "Sister Change", "Woman", a cover of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood". But the best work on this disc was the constantly played on the air arrangement of Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower". In 1980, the group expanded to a quartet, since Marino brought his brother Vince (guitar) to the group. Two records were recorded with him, after which "Mahogany Rush" began to have problems.

First, Jim Ayoub left, then problems with the label began. In addition, interest in guitar music began to fade, and the public now preferred the "new wave". But Frank Marino did not give up and released several solo works. He returned to the "Mahogany Rush" signboard only in 2000, completely updating the lineup and recording a new studio album "Eye of the storm" with it.
