About this concert
While they might not be household names, among musicians, Tony and Pete Levin are legends. John Lennon, Lou Reed, David Bowie and Paul Simon have all sought out Tony to play bass on their classic albums. As a member of prog-rock giants King Crimson, he’s become known as the master of the Chapman Stick -- an innovative instrument that’s something like a guitar played like a piano. His brother, Pete, is a keyboard and synth wiz who’s appeared on countless jazz and pop records, improvising with the likes of Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Charles Mingus and Wayne Shorter, to name just a few. While these two musical brothers have worked together in the past, they’re teaming up for the first time as the Levin Brothers and bringing their jazz trio (including drummer Jeff Siegel) to The Triple Door in Seattle for this concert.

Levin Brothers Biography
"This album's about a few things. It's a long overdue 'first record' by two brothers who've been making records individually for ... well, a lot of years! And it's a return home, for me and Pete, to the music we first shared as kids - the 'cool jazz' of the 50's. So it's been a labor of love to write pieces in that style, woodshed my cello playing, so as to use it as a lead instrument, and put together a record with melody based songs, short solos, and, hopefully, the chemistry of musicians who play like ... like brothers!
"You'll see us in suits in the session photos - that was an effort to help be immersed in the genre of the music. Back in the 50's, I guess everyone put on a suit and tie to go to work, even jazz players. It took awhile to get used to, but was actually kind of fun. Old school!
"We think this album will appeal to anyone who likes instrumental music, and it's a special treat to be able to offer it in vinyl (with digital download card, of course) as well as CD."
