  1. New #review today: "#AndyToomey has apparently been around a while, but the arrival of Perseus Calling in my inbox was the first I’d heard of him. He’s a musician based in Florida with several previous releases, but Perseus Calling features some well-known guests, raising Toomey’s profile. The band for the release is #StickMen, with Toomey adding vocals and rhythm guitar on six songs he wrote." #ExposeOnline #TonyLevin #MarkusReuter #PatMastelotto expose.org/index.php/articles/

  2. Okay music fans. If you're in Northern California/PNW, Reeves (MF) Gabrels is stepping up to join Stick Men on several while Tony Levin (all best wishes!) is recovering from undisclosed illness.

  3. @alexlac51 Great song with the magical #TonyLevin on bass. How could I have lived forty years without seeing the video. Very simple but quite touching. Powerful.

  4. Joan Armatrading - Walk Under Ladders

    In the early 80s, Armatrading pivoted to a more pop sound. On Me Myself I (produced by Richard Gottehrer of Blondie fame) she was backed by most of Springsteen's band.

    On this 1981 release Steve Lillywhite takes over the boards, and she's backed by folks like Tony Levin, Andy Partridge, Sly & Robbie, Jerry Marotta,, and Thomas Dolby.

    A&M clearly wanted a hit.

    Lots of fun.

  5. O’Donel Levy – Simba (1974, US)

    Our next spotlight is on number 303 on The List, submitted by weirdofhermiston.

    Well hot damn, this is one funky album!

    This is the fourth solo album from Baltimore jazz guitarist Levy, his fourth on Sonny Lester’s Groove Merchant album, third to be arranged by Manny Albam, and first to contain solely Levy’s own (or co-written) compositions.

    What the stoic album cover doesn’t tell you is that contained within is a Levy-led brass-heavy band with members some of you may be familiar with, particularly in the rhythm section: Eddie Daniels on flute, piccolo, and baritone saxophone; Jon Faddis and Ernie Royal on trumpet; Burt Collins and Lew Soloff on both flugelhorn and trumpet; Cecil Bridgewater and Alan Rubin on flugelhorn; Bill Watrous on trombone; Warren Bernhardt on electric piano; Tony Levin – yes, the Tony Levin – on bass; and, *drum roll please* Steve Gadd on drums.

    Have you hit play yet?!

    Happy listening, all!

  6. New #review: "Deerand is the fourth album from the Iranian group #QuartetDiminished, and their first to be released on a label outside their home country. You can find their earlier albums on Bandcamp, however. The band was formed in 2013 by guitarist Ehsan Sadigh, bridging modern chamber music with rock." #ExposeOnline #ChamberRock #ProgressiveRock #RIO #TonyLevin #MarkusReuter expose.org/index.php/articles/

  7. Según la radio Futuro, el proyecto Beat en el que Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai y Danny Carey tocan temas de King Crimson estaría en negociaciones para venir a Chile y Sudamérica durante el próximo año 😱

  8. This was very ok. On my last #zeruchontour outing, I went to San Diego, specifically shelter Island, to see see the super group Beat, perform music mostly from the '80s era of #KingCrimson. It features two members of that era, #AdrianBelew and #TonyLevin, along with #SteveVai and #DannyCarey. I'm there in the middle sandwich between them all in front of the venue stage at Humphreys.

  9. Tonight we are attending the very first gig of the #BeatTour in San Jose. Looking forward to seeing 80’s King Crimson played by #AdrianBelew #TonyLevin with #SteveVai playing Fripp and #DannyCarey of #Tool playing Bruford parts. beat-tour.com/

  10. Don't miss this - particularly if your coming from a place where filling in little temporal musical gaps brings joy. #RickBeato just happens to somehow always ask the right question and gives you that street corner you didn't think to look for. Seeing #TonyLevin smile ear to ear listening to #SolsburyHill -which by now he's played live countless times, is contagious
