Pete's ninth solo release, Möbius, was recorded live in the studio in two days, capturing the "no boundaries" spirit of Pete's tenure with the dynamic Gil Evans Orchestra of the '70s and '80s. The music explores textural grooves ranging from straight-ahead bop to funk, world-beat, and the experimental. The disc features 10 tracks including eight originals, and unique treatments of "I Mean You" by Thelonious Monk & Coleman Hawkins, and "There Comes A Time" by Tony Williams. Anchored by Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel's original bassist) and Lenny White (Chick Corea's original drummer) the high-energy band and the compositions have the spontaneity and dynamics of a 'live' performance. Levin currently tours with the seven-piece Möbius Band and The Levin Brothers Quartet. write your comments about the article :: © 2017 Jazz News :: home page |
