Motéma

Hammond organist Pete Levin's slightly more famous brother Tony joins him here on five-string fretless, and it's clear from the opening strains of the Steely Dan title cover that the two had a blast. An airy version of avant-garde composer Erik Satie's "First Gymnopedie" is the arguable centerpiece, with both Levins logging seamlessly sympatico performances. - Bill Murphy
