He toured and made recordings with John Klemmer, Art Pepper, Roy Haynes, Dave Holland, Ray Brown, Charlie Haden and others, and was a founding member of Free Flight, the award winning jazz combo formed in the early 1980's. Presented here is Leviev's rare mid-1970's solo album "Piano Lesson," leading his own quartet and featuring five original compositions plus Oliver Nelson's "Hoe-Down" and Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City." the band is Milcho Leviev (piano); John B. Williams Jr. (bass); Douglas Senibaldi (drums) and Chino Valdez (percussion). All selections newly remastered.
