We caught The Levin Brothers at the Iron Horse Music Hall tonight. Rock bassist Tony Levin, known for his brilliant performances with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, has teamed up with his multi-talented brother, Pete Levin, and an ensemble of great jazz musicians for a contemporary take on 1950's jazz. It was an incredible show from Tony Levin, Pete Levin, Jeff Siegel and Erik Lawrence. Photos, videos, review and commentary will be posted soon. Stay tuned and thank you for an amazing performance!
