Jeff Wayne It's Ok To Be Right CD

'While playing French Horn with the Gil Evans Orchestra in the early 70s, Levin brought a Moog Synthesizer to a gig at New York's Village Vanguard. Already known as a 'go to' synthesizer specialist, Pete was at the vanguard of that technology. Gil loved it and Levin's role was permanently changed as the band transformed itself into the electric/acoustic hybrid ensemble that captivated audiences worldwide for years, winning two Grammy® awards along the way.

'I started bringing a Clavinet, too. Eventually Gil brought John Clark into the band because I couldn't get back to my horn in time. After a while, I just stopped bringing it. Name another band leader that would let a sideman do that! I owe him a lot.

'An in-demand New York session keyboardist, Levin has also created electronic realizations for hundreds of TV commercials, dramatic series and feature films, including 'Missing in Action,' 'Lean on Me,' 'Silver Bullet,' 'Red Scorpion,' 'The Color of Money,' 'Maniac,' 'Spin City,' 'America's Most Wanted' and 'Star Trek.

' In a dizzying array of unrelated commissions, Levin composed orchestral scores for the feature film 'Zelimo' and for a stage production of 'The Dybbuk;' had the honor of composing the anthem for the 1992 United Nations Earth summit, 'The Future is in Our Hands,' performing it twice for the U.N. General Assembly; and, as far removed from Jazz as it gets, was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for writing the official military band arrangement of the U.S. Infantry song.
