Jump! by Pete Levin
Released September 1, 2010, Jump! is Pete's 3rd organ trio album. It featured two great instrumentalists to round out the trio - Dave Stryker (guitar) and Lenny White (drums). They are joined on a few tracks by percussionist Manolo Badrena.
Also on the album is a previously produced track for an album project that never happened; "Honeysuckle Rose" with Joe Beck (guitar) and Danny Gottlieb (drums).
Remembering 3 great and talented friends:
"Alone Together" is dedicated to Jimmy Giuffre
"Little Sunflower" is dedicated to Betty MacDonald
"Honeysuckle Rose" is dedicated to Joe Beck
