SUMMARY:Pete Levin Trio
DESCRIPTION:Pete Levin – organ \nSteve Raleigh – guitar \nPeter O’Brien – drums \nIn 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. \nSince the 70s\, Pete has been part of New York’s jazz\, pop\, and electronic music scene. In 1974 he got a call to play French horn with legendary jazz arranger Gil Evans\, and Gil made him a regular. As an experiment\, Pete brought a Moog synthesizer to an Evans gig. Gil loved it and Pete’s role was permanently changed\, beginning the transformation of the band into the electronic/acoustic hybrid sound that won 2 Grammy awards. Among the first to explore synthesizers during the 70s\, Pete became a sought-after sideman for studio and live gigs. As an arranger and musician he worked on dozens of film scores\, hundreds of jazz and pop records\, and countless TV and radio commercials. Over the years\, interspersed with Gil Evans\, Paul Simon\, Annie Lennox and Jimmy Giuffre tours\, Pete has done arranging and electronic music for feature films including MISSING IN ACTION\, THE COLOR OF MONEY and STAR TREK. He composed the orchestral score for the independent film ZELIMO\, composed an original music score for a stage production of THE DYBBUK\, did the official band/chorus arrangement of the U.S. Infantry song and composed the anthem for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit\, performing it in the U.N. General Assembly. But his favorite collaboration was “THE CLAMS” with his brother\, bassist Tony Levin and drummer Steve Gadd\, a Spike Jones tribute band that produced the top-40 hit single “CLOSE TO YOU” that’s now a cult classic. \nBetween 1964 and 2017\, Pete has recorded and/or performed live with artists and ensembles including … \nMichael Allman\, Aztec Two Step\, Joe Beck\, Jeff Berlin\, Marc Black\, Terrance Blanchard\, Carla Bley\, Blood Sweat & Tears\, Broadside Brass Bed Band\, Brubeck Brothers Quartet\, Hiram Bullock\, Butterfield Blues Band\, Donald Byrd\, Don Byron\, Jay Chattaway\, Tommy Chong\, The Clams\, John Clark\, Jimmy Cobb\, Judy Collins\, Commander Cody\, Gene Cornish\, Albert Cummings\, David Darling\, Kal David\, Bettye Davis\, Miles Davis\, Robbie Dupree\, Don Elliott\, Gil Evans\, Fania All-Stars\, Rachelle Farelle\, Bryan Ferry\, Letizia Gambi\, Jimmy Giuffre\, Leila Gobi\, Government Mule\, Gregory Hines\, Freddie Hubbard\, Kathy Ingraham\, Howard Johnson\, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Band\, Mamadou Kelly\, Annie Lennox\, Tony Levin\, Levin Brothers\, Rod MacDonald\, Al MacDowell\, Mike Mainieri\, Melissa Manchester\, Chuck Mangione\, Liza Minnelli\, Charles Mingus\, Gerry Mulligan\, Ola Onabule\, Rob Paparozzi\, Jaco Pastorius\, Simon Phillips\, Lorenza Ponce\, Genya Ravan\, Nicki Richards\, Robbie Robertson\, Teri Roiger\, Ali Ryerson\, David Sanborn\, John Scofield\, Wayne Shorter\, Carly Simon\, Paul Simon\, Lew Soloff\, Vaneese Thomas\, John Tropea\, Joe Lynn Turner\, Michal Urbaniak\, Jimmy Vivino\, Joe Louis Walker\, Jim Weider\, Peter Welker\, Lenny White & Vanessa Williams.

SUMMARY:David Lopato Quintet
DESCRIPTION:David Lopato – piano\, keyboards \nEd Neumeister – trombone \nLucas Pino – saxes\, clarinet \nJohn Menegon – bass \nHarvey Sorgen – drums \n  \nA concert of original compositions spanning the wide range of jazz improvisation.\n\nHudson Valley-based pianist/composer David Lopato has performed as a leader and sideman throughout the world.

Lopato has toured his own music in configurations ranging from solo piano to 10-piece ensembles\, having performed with Dave Liebman\, Dewey Redman\, Joe Lovano\, Mark Helias\, Ray Anderson\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Jane Ira Bloom\, Steve Gorn and numerous others. His most recent recording\, Gendhing for a Spirit Rising (Global Coolant-02)\, a Gamelan-influenced work for large ensemble\, was hailed by Downbeat Magazine as one of the “Best Albums of 2017”…“unlike anything you are likely to hear this year (or any year).\n\n\nEd Neumeister is a musician’s musician\, as his elders and peers are glad to tell you. Influential trombonist arranger and educator Bob Brookmeyer hailed him early on as “a gifted improviser\,” while composer arranger Manny Albam\, co-founder of the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop\, extolled Neumeister as “the perfect mixture as a musician. He knows Ellington as well as Bartok.” Saxophone star Joe Lovano has valued Neumeister as a colleague for some four decades\, praising him as a conductor of “infectious flair” as well as “a soloist of deep expressive passion.” Another renowned saxophonist\, Dave Leibman\, simply dubbed him “one of the best trombonists in the business.” And veteran pianist Jim McNeely has said about Neumeister: “Whenever I play a gig with Ed\, I know the music will be interesting. By the end of the evening\, I will have asked myself a couple dozen times: ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ ” Then there are the critics\, with DownBeat calling Neumeister “a highly distinctive solo voice” and JazzTimes admiring his “compelling” compositions.
