Press Coverage

Brian Soergel - Jazz Times by "Crossover" by Level 10
““It’s hard to pin down Level 10’s musical style, and that’s a good thing. There are some engaging smooth-jazz leanings, but on Crossover you’ll get plenty of muscular funk, Latin, contemporary jazz and Brazilian-style music, the latter inspired by leader Levy DeAndrade’s native country. This highly professional band, which has fans worldwide, is sure to expand its fan base with a CD that will certainly rank among the top released in 2011.”” Brian Soergel - Jazz Times

Jazz Author & Journalist by "Crossover" CD Review
“The ensembles are tight, while the concise solos are soulful, melodic and passionate. The music could be called fusion, Latin crossover or even smooth, but Level 10 does not limit itself to one genre and succeeds at carving out its own musical niche. With their excellent musicianship and ability to say a lot in a short space, Level 10 clearly has a strong future. And Levy DeAndrade proves throughout Crossover that he is a composer well worth watching. ” Scott Yanow - Jazz Author & Journalist

Jonathan Widran - Wine and Jazz by "Crossover" CD by Level 10
“I just got hit with the vibrant gale force of Level 10 and I seriously doubt my Brazilian pop jazz sensibilities will ever be the same. Where have I been? Level 10 put out their debut CD Together in 2009, were named “Tampa’s Best Jazz Band” by CBS Radio before touring Europe heavily. The skillful foursome mixes deep jazz chops with danceable grooves and powerhouse melodies creating incredible energy that doesn’t quit for a minute on their genre-transcending second album Crossover. Crossover is pure fiery fun, highlighted by the perfect trade off on melody and harmony between group founder, Levy DeAndrade’s spirited keys and Rex Freligh’s brilliant sax lines and a rolling rhythm section with Yovannis Roque (electric and acoustic bass), Tony Cintron (percussion) and Sean Fote (Drums). Crossover is filled with so many buoyant pleasures it’s hard to know where to stop the praise. If this is Level 10, I can’t wait to see them at the next level of their career! ” Jonathan Widran - Wine and Jazz

Review by J.Berglind by
Level 10, led by Levy DeAndrade, was originally formed in 2004. Now, four years and a few musicians later Levy*s band has found the right chemistry and matured to a serious group of dedicated players. The music styles range from smooth jazz to funky samba and salsa, with a healthy dose of great rhythms and catchy tunes. Level 10 is a unique band that has mastered the blend of smooth and contemporary jazz music. Listeners will not only appreciate their musical ability but their one-of-a-kind interpretation of what jazz style means to them.Levy DeAndrade's compositions and arrangements are authentic and beautiful; he writes from his soul. The listener experiences not only the auditory pleasure of excellent music, but catches a glimpse of the band's emotion in every composition. Submitted by: J.Berglind

Benjamin Ruth - Founder CME Artist , UK by Live Performance by Level 10
“My personal highlight of the whole Lancaster Festival though I must declare an interest in funky, Brazilian, Cuban and American modern jazz played at Grammy nominated level and Level 10 are just that. Their performance at a packed Dalton Rooms on the Sunday evening, one of the last shows of the festival was, for me, as good as it gets. Levy DeAndrade (keys), Rex Freligh (sax), Yovannis Roque (bass) and Sean Fote (drums) are undisputed masters of their respective instruments and the dexterity and ferocity with which they play together on Levy’s complex yet highly rhythmic compositions is the key to the response this band received. ” CME Artist, UK - CME Artist, UK “It was a huge pleasure having you guys over here. The calibre of music you brought to the festival was simply stunning. One of the best live gigs I've ever seen. You're that good. To have 300 punters in Lancaster dancing and screaming for more just goes to show that your band puts all the right superlatives back into jazz. ” Benjamin Ruth - Founder CME Artist Services, UK
