Composer Michael Levanios explores another side of his musical persona, with his second release, "Another View." Rich with such talents as saxophonist Ron Kerber( Pieces of a Dream) and bassist / guitarist Jef Lee Johnson (Nelson Rangell, Chaka Kahn, Rachelle Farrell), "Another View" carries Levanios squarely into the realm of contemporary jazz. Fans who embraced the spirit of Levanios' first album (Dancing in the Garden of Light) will encounter a smokier, brassier sound in "Another View." Listeners will discover a Levanios who is a little closer to the bone. In "Another View" Levanios' sonic palette ranges from the sparkling, contagious Brazilian rhythms of "Samba Espresso" (showcasing flutists Stan Slotter and percussionist Ronny Crawford), to the sultry swagger of "She Said Yes," featuring saxophonist Ron Kerber. The heartbreakingly triumphant saxophone tribute "Sam's Got Wings is compelling proof of Levanios' intensely personal approach to composition. "Another View" was co-produced by grammy winning engineer Glenn Barratt, whose platinum credits include work with Grover Washington, Pieces of a Dream, Gerald Veasley, John Blake and many others. Originally released in 1995, on the Water's Edge label, "Another View" climbed to number 45 on national radio charts.
