Saxophonist Jed Levy possesses an amazingly versatile sound, which over 4 decades has had him working with Junior Mance, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Eddie Henderson, Chico O'Farrill's Afro-Cuban Orchestra, Tom Harrell, Jack McDuff, Cedar Walton and The Four Tops!
Faces and Spaces, Jed's 11th album as a leader, is a collection of original compositions - expressions of some of those stops along his musical journey.
With pianist Luis Perdomo, bassist Peter Slavov and drummer Alvester Garnett, Jed shares a feel for what must have been the appeal that's attracted so many to his corner, all displayed with infectious grooves and melodies, demonstrated within the mastery of the modern jazz vocabulary.
Hear a track from Faces and Places each weekday morning at 8:20 AM, another feature made possible by the contributors to WBGO.
