Few reviews on Levin Brothers album

"... a hearty portion of tightly cohesive songs that merge the best of Bach with the pace of bop."
– Ira Kantor's, Elmore Magazine (USA)

"... every single cut qualifies as a standout!"
– Peter Thelen', Exposè (USA)

"... This is pure jazz, inspired by the music that the brothers heard in the fifties and came to love."
– Wolfgang Giese's, RockTimes (Germany)

" ... there is a remarkable purity and innocence to this music. THE LEVIN BROTHERS manages to be both serious and playful without ever losing the passion and edge that comes from pairing two masters of their instruments playing a style of music they both love. A terrific album not just for fans of classic jazz, but for fans of music, period."
– Jason Warburg, The Daily Vault (USA)

"... a player from the Jazz league has teamed up with one from the Progressive league and they both show just how they can swing. 'Cool' doesn't come close to fully describing this album."
– Travis Rogers, Jazz Times Magazine
