about

In a diverse music career spanning several decades, keyboardist/arranger Pete Levin has performed and recorded with hundreds of Jazz and Pop artists - including Paul Simon, Annie Lennox, Miles Davis, David Sanborn, Lenny White, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Robbie Robertson and John Scofield - receiving critical accolades for his work during a 15 year association with the legendary Gil Evans, and his 8 year stint with jazz icon Jimmy Giuffre.
An independent release, this is the 2nd album where Pete returns to his first love, the Hammond Organ. Its the basic organ trio format - organ, guitar, drums - but with several twists. For starters there's a rotating lineup of all-star players from the jazz and pop worlds. Percussion is added on several tracks. The music is both traditional and untraditional, featuring 5 of Pete's original compositions, and 5 "cover" songs that you usually don't hear being done by an organ trio - like "Teen Town" done without a bass player. And finally, there's the whimsical CD cover art by Emily Saaen.
