about
Saxophonist/composer Ted Levine’s Playscape debut documents his three year-old quartet with Musillami, Shapiro, and Arenius. Playscape regular Peter Madsen joins the group for this recording, which showcases Levine’s ability to embrace material ranging from straight-ahead jazz to original music with a more experimental edge. The Levine/Madsen duet version of Duke Ellington’s “Star Crossed Lovers” would become the impetus for their 2003 duo recording, Night Sounds.
