Keyboardist-arranger-composer
Pete Levin's ninth solo release, Möbius, 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. 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 two iconic
musicians, Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Stick Men) and Lenny White
(Return To Forever, Miles Davis, Freddy Hubbard) this high-energy band and the
compositions have the spontaneity and dynamics of a 'live' performance.
The
album was recorded in December, 2016, mixed in April, 2017 and slated for the
official release in November 2017, and features internationally-known
musicians: Alex Foster (Saturday Night Live Band, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie
Hancock), Chris Pasin (Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett), Jeff Ciampa
(Dave Matthews, Bill Evans, Harry Belafonte), Nanny Assis (Janis Siegel, Eumir
Deodato, Vinicius Cantauria) and guest musicians Jerry Marotta, Erik Lawrence, Rob
Paparozzi & Kal David.
••• Due to
his very busy touring schedules in 2017/2018 with King Crimson, Stick Men and
Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin's will be subbed on live performances by Ira Coleman
(Branford Marsalis, Herbie Hancock, Sting),
Upcoming
