TPA CD Review: Levin Brothers - Levin Brothers

Levin Brothers - Levin Brothers

You can read the full TPA Review here

...The one cover on the album is King Crimson's Matte Kudasai and this is a truly lovely version of a track that will no doubt be familiar to most people reading this. Here it is recast with Tony's bass taking on the Belew vocal melody, a sweeping backdrop laid down on piano that lets the beauty of this piece shine anew. Pete steps up for a solo as the brothers switch roles as smoothly as if they’d been playing together for decades. Oh...

I like jazz but am certainly no expert, having started with fusion and made tentative forays into what it developed from, and don't have a real depth of knowledge on the genre as I haven't spent enough time listening to the originals from the period that this release celebrates but this recording could well open the door to that world. For any fan of quality music played with real enthusiasm and passion by truly skilled artists you can't ask for more and I'm really glad I've had the opportunity to review Levin Brothers.
