About the event

Emerging from the 1970’s New York City jazz scene, keyboardist Pete Levin and bass
player Tony Levin has performed and recorded with dozens of the biggest names in
jazz and rock; from Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck, to Peter Gabriel and John Lennon.
Joined here by jazz veterans Jeff “Seige” Seigel on drums and Pat Labarbera on
saxophone, expect nothing short of fireworks.
Style-wise, Tony and Pete Levin have had divergent careers. Pete earned a master’s
degree from the Juilliard School and became a synthesizer specialist in the New York
City recording studio scene. Over the years, he has graced hundreds of jazz and pop
recordings and performances with artists including Gil Evans, Dave Brubeck, David
Sanborn, Miles Davis, Joe Louis Walker, Freddie Hubbard, Annie Lennox, Charles
Mingus, Jaco Pastorius and Wayne Shorter. He has released 19 solo albums with
groups of varying sizes.
Meanwhile, Tony graduated from the Eastman School of Music, and his bass playing
quickly landed on notable recordings by John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Alice
Cooper, Dire Straits, Carly Simon, Judy Collins, as well as jazz giants Buddy Rich,
Steps Ahead, Gary Burton, Chuck Mangione, and Herbie Mann. He has been the long-
time recording and touring bass player for Peter Gabriel.
They are joined by drummer/composer/educator Jeff Siegel, and sax player Pat
Labarbera, best known as the long-time featured soloist in Buddy Rich’s band.
The band’s repertoire draws from 50’-era Jazz, with excursions into Classical, Pop, and
Progressive Rock genres adapted to the band’s jazz style. Performances now include

compositions by Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Ennio Morricone, Ralph
Towner, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Giuffre, as well as originals.
Their musical paths have crossed many times, backing other artists and playing in
each others bands. In the late ‘70s they toured together with Paul Simon. But other than
a 1976 recording by their first group – “The Clams” – the Levin Brothers band was their
first time developing a project of their own. With their common roots, music training and
decades of recording experience, getting their minds in sync with the project was easy.
