Can anyone suggest other artists with whom Tony Levin and/or Jerry
Marotta have performed? They've both been featured on Peter Gabriel
albums (at least pre-"So"), and I've heard Levin with King Crimson
("Beat" and "Three of Perfect Pair"). I seem to remember someone
mentioning that Marotta played on a Tears for Fears album. Anywhere
else? If you can't come up with Levin/Marotta appearences, how about
other artists with similar styles? (I'd particularly be interested in
other Stick players).

They played on the second and third albums by Canadian prog/pop rocker Gowan (Larry Gowan). I don't know if these are available in the US or not. Jon Anderson appears on backing vox for the song "Moonlight Desires". Great music, although Gowan was marketed as a video/pop act. Also, Tim Finn's new solo career saw the dynamic duo anchoring his band. He was one of the two brothers leading NZ's Split Enz. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Je me souviens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gary L.

Really-From: Brian Patrick Arnold <ba0k+@andrew.cmu.edu> Tony Levin played with Peter Gabriel on every PG release including bootlegs except Peter's latest "Passion". Tony and Jerry played on Fripp's "Exposure" recording which actually came out on CD for a while. Tony was an integral part of the 1980-1984 King Crimson lineup, on bootlegs, "Discipline", "Beat", "Three of a Perfect Pair" and videos. Tony Levin was in Yoko Ono's band, I think back in 1980 ish. He played on several Carly Simon records, a Frida (ABBA) album and played with Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits) on at least one soundtrack and something else. He played with Robbie Robertson I think. He played on Pink Floyd's latest studio recording but didn't tour with Floyd. He played on some songs from two Roches recordings "The Roches" and "Keep On Doing". He played on Bryan Ferry's "Boys and Girls" recording. Being a studio-ish musician, I know but can't think of several other recordings he's played on. WIth Bill Bruford, Bill and Tony played on one song on Al DiMeola's "Scenario" recording, and the pair played with David Torn and Mark Isham on Torn's "Cloud About Mercury". Bill toured with Torn but Tony didn't. Bill was beyond awesome on the Torn tour, mindblowing. Tony was last seen recording with Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe and IS touring with them as I type this message. Tony does justice to Squire's work. Tony Levin also invented the seatbelt. Sorry I don't have a good scoop on Jerry Marotta. Jerry, Tony and Robert Fripp along with one or two other unidentified musicians were rumored to have rehearsed in preparation of a reformation of King Crimson back in 1987, but I think this rumor evolved from mistaken identities in David Sylvian's rehearsals when he toured back then, in which none of the people I just mentioned actually toured with Sylvian. Fripp very recently played as "Fripp/Fripp" somewhere in England as a friend who was planning to see it told me a couple weeks ago. "Fripp/Fripp" apparently played in Paris in May, and is thought to consist of Toyah Wilcox (who someone claims is Fripp's wife hence...), a crafty guitarist playing Stick and a drummer who Fripp has played with before but I can't remember if it could possibly be Jerry Marotta. None of this is confirmed. - Brian

Simon's character (Jonah Levin) was actually named after Tony. It's a pretty good film. Also, the keyboardsman in the film (I think his name is Richard Treat but I'm not sure) later appeared on Peter Gabriel's 'So' release playing piano on 'Don't Give Up,' which all of you should know.

Believe it or not, Tony Levin and Jerry Marotta are featured predominantly in the latest Stevie Nicks album. Also, Tony Levin toured with Peter Frampton in his (that's Peter's) last tour, I'm not sure if Jerry was involved there as well or not. I guess it's a case of "when you're good, you're good", or "gotta make a living somehow". Dan Vanevic rael@cbnews.ATT.COM

You're missing the best of the three "Discipline" King Crimson albums: Discipline. In addition, two live concert videos are available: "Three of a Perfect Pair: Live in Japan", and "the noise" (Frejus, France). Both are the "Discipline" lineup: Fripp, Bruford, Belew and Levin. > Anywhere > else? The Bruford/Levin combo also appears in "Cloud About Mercury" by David Torn and "Anderson/Bruford/Wakeman/Howe".

Well, you realize, of course, that Jerry Marotta is a drummer, and has no reason to play a Chapman Stick... - hbm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry B.

I'm not sure, but I think the original list of Levin/Marotta projects didn't include the new album from Syd Straw, entitled "Surprise".
