SUMMARY:The Levin Brothers ft. Pat LaBarbera (Night 1/Set 1)
DESCRIPTION:THE LEVIN BROTHERS BAND \n \n  \nTrained in Classical music\, Pete and Tony Levin were also influenced by the 1950’s jazz recordings by bassist Oscar Pettiford. Both were encouraged by high school music faculty to pursue music careers. Pete went to The Juilliard School in New York City\, Tony to The Eastman School of Music in Rochester\, NY. After graduating\, Tony also moved to New York City. By the 1970’s both were active in the New York City music scene. \n  \nStyle-wise\, Tony and Pete have had divergent careers. Their musical paths have crossed many times\, backing other artists and playing in each other’s bands. In the late ‘70s they toured together with Paul Simon. But other than a 1976 recording by their first group – “The Clams” – the Levin Brothers band was their first time developing a project together. \n  \nWhile their 2014 debut album “Levin Brothers” was rooted in ‘50s-era jazz\, over the years they’ve added a lot of eclectic material to the band’s repertoire\, drawing from Classical\, Pop and Prog Rock genres and adapting it to the band’s jazz style. Performances now include compositions by Paul Simon\, Peter Gabriel\, King Crimson\, Ennio Morricone\, Ralph Towner\, Astor Piazzolla and Jimi Hendrix\, as well as originals by Pete and Tony. \n  \nOver the last 10 years the quartet has toured the U.S. and internationally\, releasing 4 more albums. While Woodstock drummer Jeff Siegel has been with them from the beginning\, the 4th member has varied over the years: saxophonist Erik Lawrence\, guitarists David Spinozza and Jeff Ciampa\, flautist Ali Ryerson and saxophonist Ken Gioffre. In 2024-25 they are joined by iconic saxophonist Pat LaBarbera. \n  \n  \nTONY LEVIN \nTony has become the bass and Chapman Stick voice for Peter Gabriel\, King Crimson and BEAT. He has played on notable recordings for John Lennon\, Pink Floyd\, Lou Reed\, Alice Cooper\, Dire Straits\, Carly Simon\, Judy Collins\, Buddy Rich\, Gary Burton\, Chuck Mangione\, Herbie Mann and many others. He currently records and tours with Peter Gabriel\, King Crimson\, Stick Men and BEAT. \n  \nPETE LEVIN \nIn the 1970s\, Pete switched to keyboards\, becoming a synthesizer specialist in the New York City recording studio scene. Over the years\, he has graced hundreds of jazz and pop recordings and performances with artists including Gil Evans\, Jimmy Giuffre\, David Sanborn\, Miles Davis\, Joe Louis Walker\, Annie Lennox\, Jaco Pastorius and Wayne Shorter. He has released 19 solo albums. He currently leads the “Gil Evans Remembered” band\, an 11-piece group made up of alumni of the Gil Evans Orchestra of the 1970’s. \n  \nJEFF “SEIGE” SEIGEL \nDrummer/Composer/Educator Jeff Siegel is a veteran of the New York Jazz Scene. A member of Sir Roland Hanna’s Trio from 1994-99\, Jeff has performed and recorded with jazz legends including Ron Carter\, Kenny Burrell\, Jack DeJohnette\, Benny Golson\, Frank Foster\, Helen Merrill and Mose Allison. For many years he was a member of legendary pianist Lee Shaw’s recording and touring trio. He currently tours “The Professors” a jazz group made up of four members of the SUNY music faculty. \n  \nPAT LABARBERA \nAmerican-born Canadian jazz tenor sax player\, Pat LaBarbera is best known as a long-time featured soloist in Buddy Rich’s band and Elvin Jones’ quartet. Pat comes from a musical \nfamily\, sharing jazz history along with his two brothers\, John (Buddy Rich) and Joe (Bill Evans\, Tony Bennett). Pat also played in groups led by Woody Herman\, Louie Bellson and Carlos Santana. Living in Toronto\, Ontario since 1974\, Pat has played a major role in the development of a generation of Canadian saxophonists. Pat joined the Levin Brothers quartet in 2024\, appearing with them for four shows at the Rochester International Jazz Festival. \n  \nwww.thelevinbrothers.com \nTICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED ON THIS PAGE.

Both were encouraged by high school music faculty to pursue music careers. Pete went to The Juilliard School in New York City\, Tony to The Eastman School of Music in Rochester\, NY. After graduating\, Tony also moved to New York City. By the 1970’s both were active in the New York City music scene. \n  \nStyle-wise\, Tony and Pete have had divergent careers. Their musical paths have crossed many times\, backing other artists and playing in each other’s bands. In the late ‘70s they toured together with Paul Simon. But other than a 1976 recording by their first group – “The Clams” – the Levin Brothers band was their first time developing a project together. \n  \nWhile their 2014 debut album “Levin Brothers” was rooted in ‘50s-era jazz\, over the years they’ve added a lot of eclectic material to the band’s repertoire\, drawing from Classical\, Pop and Prog Rock genres and adapting it to the band’s jazz style. Performances now include compositions by Paul Simon\, Peter Gabriel\, King Crimson\, Ennio Morricone\, Ralph Towner\, Astor Piazzolla and Jimi Hendrix\, as well as originals by Pete and Tony. \n  \nOver the last 10 years the quartet has toured the U.S. and internationally\, releasing 4 more albums. While Woodstock drummer Jeff Siegel has been with them from the beginning\, the 4th member has varied over the years: saxophonist Erik Lawrence\, guitarists David Spinozza and Jeff Ciampa\, flautist Ali Ryerson and saxophonist Ken Gioffre. In 2024-25 they are joined by iconic saxophonist Pat LaBarbera. \n  \n  \nTONY LEVIN \nTony has become the bass and Chapman Stick voice for Peter Gabriel\, King Crimson and BEAT. He has played on notable recordings for John Lennon\, Pink Floyd\, Lou Reed\, Alice Cooper\, Dire Straits\, Carly Simon\, Judy Collins\, Buddy Rich\, Gary Burton\, Chuck Mangione\, Herbie Mann and many others. He currently records and tours with Peter Gabriel\, King Crimson\, Stick Men and BEAT. \n  \nPETE LEVIN \nIn the 1970s\, Pete switched to keyboards\, becoming a synthesizer specialist in the New York City recording studio scene. Over the years\, he has graced hundreds of jazz and pop recordings and performances with artists including Gil Evans\, Jimmy Giuffre\, David Sanborn\, Miles Davis\, Joe Louis Walker\, Annie Lennox\, Jaco Pastorius and Wayne Shorter. He has released 19 solo albums. He currently leads the “Gil Evans Remembered” band\, an 11-piece group made up of alumni of the Gil Evans Orchestra of the 1970’s. \n  \nJEFF “SEIGE” SEIGEL \nDrummer/Composer/Educator Jeff Siegel is a veteran of the New York Jazz Scene. A member of Sir Roland Hanna’s Trio from 1994-99\, Jeff has performed and recorded with jazz legends including Ron Carter\, Kenny Burrell\, Jack DeJohnette\, Benny Golson\, Frank Foster\, Helen Merrill and Mose Allison. For many years he was a member of legendary pianist Lee Shaw’s recording and touring trio. He currently tours “The Professors” a jazz group made up of four members of the SUNY music faculty. \n  \nPAT LABARBERA \nAmerican-born Canadian jazz tenor sax player\, Pat LaBarbera is best known as a long-time featured soloist in Buddy Rich’s band and Elvin Jones’ quartet. Pat comes from a musical\nfamily\, sharing jazz history along with his two brothers\, John (Buddy Rich) and Joe (Bill Evans\, Tony Bennett). Pat also played in groups led by Woody Herman\, Louie Bellson and Carlos Santana. Living in Toronto\, Ontario since 1974\, Pat has played a major role in the development of a generation of Canadian saxophonists. Pat joined the Levin Brothers quartet in 2024\, appearing with them for four shows at the Rochester International Jazz Festival. \n  \nwww.thelevinbrothers.com \nTICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED ON THIS PAGE.

SUMMARY:Eliana Cuevas Venezuelan Duo with Luis Anselmi
DESCRIPTION:Eliana Cuevas – vocals\nLuis Anselmi – piano \n \nCOVER: $20 \n\nEliana Cuevas Venezuelan Duo with Luis Anselmi\n\n\nHailed as “a major international talent that’s on its way” by the Toronto Star\, Venezuelan vocalist Eliana Cuevas performs dynamic songs that defy expectations of Latin music. \nEliana has toured across Canada and abroad collaborating with Juno and Grammy Award-winning performers\, and she has released 8 albums of original Latin music under her name: Cohesión (2001)\, Ventura (2004) Vidas (2007)\, Espejo (2013)\, Golpes y Flores (2017)\, El Curruchá (2021)\, Seré Libre (2023) and\, most recently\, Mi Pequeña (2025). \nEliana has created a new duo project \, a Venezuelan Duo\, featuring voice and cuatro\, Venezuela’s national instrument. She is joined by Luis Anselmi\, a brilliant cuatro player and mentor of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation\, a rising star in the Canadian and Venezuelan musical landscape. \nThey feature a unique and very soulful take on Latin American music with a focus on Venezuelan folkloric repertoire. Their music is Jazz-infused\, acoustic\, and it showcases a mix of original compositions and some of the most beloved Venezuelan traditional songs. \nTheir performances are playful\, adventurous\, spontaneous and very moving at times\, allowing their audience to experience a wide range of emotions. \nEliana stresses that “the focus of this project is the cuatro and Venezuelan music—A universe of sounds and rhythms as rich and broad as the music from Cuba and Brazil but not as widely known.” \nThis is a project of bare-bones and honesty: voice and cuatro. Stripped of excess\, what remains is the marrow of Venezuelan songcraft—the warm timbre of Eliana’s voice intertwining with the mercurial cuatro. In this intimate format\, every nuance counts; every breath and every pluck is a confession. \nEliana’s extraordinary vocal prowess is on full display in this duo setting\, showcasing the vocal chops that have been captivating audiences around the world for years while the cuatro roars\, whispers\, cries\, and is transformed into an ”arpa llanera”. On stage\, this project opens a window into Venezuela\, Eliana’s native land\, in a mesmerizing display of versatility\, creating an exhibit of her experiences through music\, bringing her songs and stories to life. \nEliana has never been constrained by genre boxes in her songwriting\, drawing freely from jazz\, Latin\, folk and world music elements\, and her eclectic discography has brought her multiple wins at the National Jazz Awards\, Toronto Independent Music Awards\, Canadian Folk Music Awards\, and the Independent Music Awards in the US. \nFor audiences\, Eliana’s Venezuelan Duo offers not just music but a journey: a reminder that Venezuela\, even in exile\, sings on with clarity\, humour\, tenderness\, and fire.
