Swinging into town for an exceptional sonic experience, The Howard Levy 4 brings pep to your step with bouncy compositions saturated with blues riffs, jazz runs, and world music sensibilities punctuated by blistering diatonic harmonica. Scorching solos showcase each member’s considerable skills, from the bumping bass and drums, to the trilling guitar and harmonica. The depth, richness, and variety of tones achieved by Levy mark him as a true virtuoso, and his backing band of powerhouse musicians matches his fervor with raucous results.
Tuesday 5/7. $18–25, 8pm. Belmont Arts Collaborative, 221 Carlton Rd. Ste. 3. cvillejazz.org
