"... I had no idea that I had a recording of this concert until I started going through thousands of old cassettes in my attic. I found this one marked "Super Session of Swing Master". Excited, I popped it into my cassette deck. The first notes brought back great memories, and the cassette, recorded straight from the board, sounded really good.

I digitized it, cleaned up the sound a little, and after 36 years, here it is. Jethro’s spoken intros are included as separate tracks, because his humor is an essential part of the Jethro experience- my face was often frozen into a permanent smile when we were on stage..."

Jethro Burns- mandolin

Howard Levy- diatonic harmonica, piano

John Parrott- guitar

Jeff Czech- bass

  • From the Vaults Series - Over Howard Levy’s long musical career, the 2-time Grammy Award winner has recorded on hundreds of albums and put out more than 15 of his own. His stylistic and compositional range encompasses more musical genres than most people could ever imagine. In 2018, Howard started releasing some of the best music he ever recorded that, for one reason or another, was never put out on CDs. The “Vaults” series contains 4 brilliant recordings done over a 25-year span, in styles including Swing, World Music, Jazz, Latin Jazz, and Blues. Preserved on tape, cassettes, and digital audiotape and then remastered, the excellent sound quality on all 4 recordings enhances the adventurous, surprising, and energetic music- it sounds as fresh now as it did then, bursting with humor, depth and creativity!

Vol. 1 Harmonica Jazz This is the re-release of a cassette album that Howard put out in 1987. It is the first Jazz album ever recorded by a diatonic harmonica player and stands as a milestone in the history of harmonica recordings.

Vol. 2 The NBV Quintet 1980-1983 Howard started this band in 1979. NBV stands for “No Bad Vibes”. Howard composed all the tunes on the album and plays only piano, as the primary focus of the band was the classic sound of trumpet and tenor sax with a rhythm section.

Vol. 3 Howard and Jethro- Super Session of Swing This album documents the exhilarating first concert that Howard and Jethro Burns (great Mandolin player from “Homer and Jethro”) played as co-leaders. Jethro’s hilarious spoken intros are included as an essential part of the Jethro experience.

Vol. 4: Duets with Friends As the crowning jewel from Howard's musical vaults, “Duets with Friends” shines with the light of spontaneous creativity. While there are still more unheard treasures, this album is the 4th and last of the "From the Vaults" series. Paired up with some of Chicago’s greatest musicians, Howard creates deep, grooving, exploratory improvisations, blending Indian, Latin, and Jazz styles together into a unique sonic stew.
