  • The Levin Bros w/ special guest, jazz flutist Ali Ryerson (Rooftop Series)

    Featured
    Kennett Square 102 Sycamore Alley, Kennett Square, PA, United States

    "We grew up in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, where we were trained in Classical music from a young age. But we also loved the 1950's recordings by jazz bassist Oscar Pettiford and jazz French horn player Julius Watkins; and those have remained influential, even as we went on to other playing. The catchy melodies, deep grooves, and tight solos made that music memorable, and it's been percolating for years for us to do an album of our own in that style"
