Fade to Black

by The Howard Levy 4

/

about

"Fade to Black" is the first single by The Howard Levy 4.

Originally, Howard wrote this as a song with lyrics about trying to wipe a failed romance from his memory. Howard is “singing” some of the words through the harmonica, supported by Chris Siebold’s amazing guitar tapping, Josh Ramos’ pulsing bass lines, and Luiz Ewerling’s propulsive drumming. The band has turned the original song into a much more dynamic and powerful artistic statement, highlighted by Chris’ blazing guitar solo.

About The Howard Levy 4:

Multi Grammy-Award winner Howard Levy is a world- renowned harmonica player, pianist, and composer. He has played with many of the world’s top musicians, vocalists and bands, including Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Trio Globo, Paquito D’Rivera, etc, and he has led many bands as well.

The Howard Levy 4, his newest group, features 3 of Chicago’s finest musicians who are also Howard’s long-time musical friends.

CHRIS SIEBOLD, house guitarist for 5 years on A Prairie Home Companion, is a member of internationally renowned fusion band Kick the Cat, and has played with many notable musicians around the world. He brings intensity, soul and his incredible technique to any style of music.

JOSH RAMOS, virtuosic and versatile bassist, is equally at home on upright and electric. He was Ramsey Lewis’ bass player for 5 years and the bassist for CALJE, Chicago’s premier modern Latin/jazz ensemble.

LUIZ EWERLING, renowned drummer/composer, is one of the top Brazilian drummers living in the US. He contributes rhythmic depth and passion to whatever music he plays.

The band performs original compositions by Howard, Chris and Luiz. The repertoire features music from Howard and Chris’ new CD “Art + Adrenaline”, and music from Luiz’s album “Our Earth”. The styles range from Jazz, Brazilian, Latin, and World Music, to Blues and more. Howard plays equal amounts of harmonica and piano (sometimes together), and the band creates a volatile mix of styles with hot, soulful playing and deep grooves.
