Keyboardist-arranger-composer Pete Levin's ninth solo release, Mobius, was recorded live in the studio in two days, capturing the "no boundaries" spirit of Gil Evans. The music explores textural grooves ranging from straight-ahead bop to funk, world-beat, and the experimental. He is set for a CD Release Performance on November 8 at 7:00pm at The Cutting Room, 44 E. 32nd St., New York. More info, click here.
The disc features 10 tracks including eight originals,"I Mean You" by Thelonious Monk & Coleman Hawkins, and "There Comes A Time" by
Tony Williams. Anchored by
Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel's original bassist) and
Lenny White (
Chick Corea's original drummer) the high-energy band and the compositions have the spontaneity and dynamics of a 'live' performance.
In a diverse music career spanning several decades, Levin has performed and recorded with numerous jazz and pop artists, including
Paul Simon,
Annie Lennox,
David Sanborn, Jaco Pastorius, Robbie Robertson and John Scofield. He received critical accolades for his work during a 15-year association with Gil Evans, and his eight-year stint with jazz icon
Jimmy Giuffre.
Levin currently tours with the seven-piece Mobius Band, The Levin Brothers Quartet, and his own organ trio.
