Barry Levenson & Jake Sampson Band - Closer to the Blues (2000)

Pittsburgh native Barry Levenson's lifelong love affair with the blues began at an early age. At fourteen, an older friend played him some of Buddy Guy's Vanguard records and Levenson immediately fell hopelessly and passionately in love with this great American art form.
After playing in numerous blues bands in his home town, Levenson landed a job doing studio work, which he still does to this day. He then moved to Boston to study arranging at the Berklee School of Music. While in Boston, he became the house guitarist at Boston's premier rhythm and blues hot spot, the Sugar Shack, backing up numerous R&B and soul greats. Looking for a better climate, both musically and weather-wise, Levenson next moved to the sunny climes of Southern California, where he immediately began working with such blues greats as Big Mama Thornton, Pee Wee Crayton, Percy Mayfield, Lowell Fulson and J.D. Nicholson. The guitarist's next step was to land a deal with the prestigious European jazz and blues label, Storyville Records under his own name. "Hard Times Won" earned him a Handy Award nomination for Blues Song of the Year. He was also included on 2 Delta Laserlight compilations, Blues Guitar Heaven along with Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker and Mike Bloomfield to name a few; and Blues for a Rainy Day with T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy and Bobby Bland. Other highlights of Levenson's career include work on William Clarke's Groove Time CD, numerous blues festivals in Europe and the United States.
"Closer To The Blues" was recorded at Pacifica Studios, Los Angeles, California with Jake Sampson (vocals, bass), Dave Melton (guitar), Johnny Dyer (harp), Chris Jennings, Elliott Chavers, Phil Krawzak (saxophone), Mike Thompson (piano), Dave Kida (drums).
