Event
Jazz on the Lake with Howard Levy!
Join us for a mid-Summer evening of community, great music and a BBQ dinner on the lawn! Brink a blanket or chair and join us for a magical evening with stunning views of Lake Michigan as the backdrop!
WE WILL HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF CHAIRS AVAILABLE for those who find it difficult to sit on the lawn. Guests are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets to sit on.
MULTIPLE GRAMMY-AWARD WINNER HOWARD LEVY is an acknowledged master of the diatonic harmonica, a superb pianist, innovative composer, recording artist, bandleader, teacher, producer, and Chicago area resident. His musical travels have taken him all over the geographical world and the musical map. Equally at home in Jazz, Classical music, Rock, Folk, Latin, and World Music, he brings a fresh lyrical approach to whatever he plays. This has made him a favorite with audiences worldwide, and a recording artist sought after by the likes of Kenny Loggins, Dolly Parton, Paquito DRivera, Styx, Donald Fagen, and Paul Simon. As a sideman, Howard has appeared on hundreds of CDs and played on many movie soundtracks.
He is perhaps best known for the four CDs he recorded with Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, a unique band that set the musical world on its ear back in the early 1990s. He got back together with the band in 2010 and recorded the CD Rocket Science. They toured extensively in 2011-2012, and Howard won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition for Life in Eleven, which he wrote with Bela Fleck.
Howards other prominent collaborations include three CDs with Trio Globo (Glen Velez and Eugene Friesen), two with Lebanese Oud player/composer Rabih Abou Khalil, and one with the avant- garde Jazz Riessler/Levy/Matinier Trio.
And now, at Beth El, he will be joined for the FIRST TIME IN CONCERT with his father, an ASTONISHING 95-years-young baritone, Ira Levy. Ira's artistry and grace are reminiscent of the great singers of the American Songbook and we are thrilled to be the first to host them as they share the concert stage in our beautiful back yard!
