DESCRIPTION:
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 and Robbie Robertson - 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. With "Deacon Blues," his 6th solo album, Pete re-emerges in 2007 as a band leader and master of reinvention, embracing his roots and first love, the Hammond Organ. In March '07 Pete brought his quartet to New York's Knitting Factory. Featured along with Pete in this 10 minute collage from the gig is guitarist Joe Beck, Drummer Harvey Sorgen and percussionist Ernie Colon.
