“The most radical single technical innovator (Levy) in the history of his instrument.” – Harmonicas, Harps, and Heavy Breathers “A musical force of ridiculous power (Levy)” – Béla Fleck “Howard Levy is a revelation; there are times when it is hard to believe he is playing only a harmonica, for he has the expressive range and depth of a saxophonist.” – The London Observer "Edge-of-the-seat brilliance (Molinaro)" – Salt Lake City Deseret News "Molinaro acquitted himself as an original, often iconoclastic thinker equipped with a leonine technique." – The Chicago Tribune Howard Levy, Grammy Award winner and founding member of the trail-blazing jazz group Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, teams with jazz and classical phenom Anthony Molinaro on this new live duo recording. Recorded in both a club - Chicago's famed Green Mill - and in a pair of upstate N.Y. concert halls, The Molinaro-Levy Project, LIVE features fresh arrangements on jazz standards and three unique and innovative originals. A special bonus track, Amazing Grace/America the Beautiful, documents their very first performance together - a live broadcast from Chicago's WFMT radio station. While centered around improvisation in the jazz tradition, the recording also incorporates blues and classical influences while showcasing each artist’s unparalleled virtuosity. Anthony Molinaro is the winner of the 1997 Naumburg International Piano Competition and has toured extensively throughout the U.S. performing in both recital and with symphony orchestras. He is equally at home as concert pianist, composer/arranger, and jazz artist and has in effect combined all three to become one of the most creative, innovative, and important young artists of his generation. Howard Levy is universally acknowledged as the most advanced diatonic harmonica player in the world. In addition to Béla Fleck and The Flecktones, he has performed and/or recorded with such diverse musical giants as Paul Simon, Tito Puente, Paquito D’Rivera, Bobby McFerrin, and Branford Marsalis, and has received numerous mentions in the Critics and Readers Polls of Downbeat, Jazziz, and Jazz Times Magazines.
