From the 1972 Montreux show, Steve Gadd and Tony Levin are throwing down on a sweet groove. This was filmed during their performance with Chuck Mangione.

For Tony Levin, a bass guitar is an endless playground. However, in our recent interview, he revealed a surprisingly simple way of testing whether a bass guitar is good.

The highly anticipated BEAT tour began on Thursday in San Jose, California. Here’s the quartet of Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, and Danny Carey performing “Sleepless” from “Three of a Perfect Pair.”

The Beat tour kicks off today, so we're thrilled to have this interview with Tony Levin, who talks about the band, his latest album, and more.

1984 was a special year for music. In this episode, Paul Thompson dives into his top 10 favorite bass lines from that year, including the works of Abraham Laboriel, Tony Levin, Geddy Lee, Darryl Jones, Paul Denman, Cliff Burton, Benny Rietveld, Mark King, Nathan East, and Marcus Miller.

Tony Levin shared an awesome diary entry on his website about BEAT’s early rehearsals.

Tony Levin has released his first video from his upcoming album, “Bringing It Down to the Bass,” which is super cool. The album's lineup is amazing. This track includes Manu Katché (drums), Dominic Miller (guitar), Pete Levin (keyboards), and Alex Foster (sax).

It’s a big year for Tony Levin. He’s gearing up for the highly anticipated BEAT tour, but he’s also just announced that he’s releasing a solo album next month, too. “Bringing It Down to the Bass” marks the bass icon’s seventh solo album and his first since 2007.

One of the most exciting tours of the year is BEAT, which will feature Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Danny Carey, and Steve Vai performing music from King Crimson’s ’80s era. The band scheduled a run from September 12th to November 10th, but now they’ve announced a whole new leg due to popular demand.

I love the Scott Devine’s and Ian Allison’s videos where they break down songs and bass lines. In this episode, they take on one of the greatest of all time: Tony Levin’s work on “Sledgehammer” – and more.

We recently shared that Beat - the nearly unbelievable lineup of Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, and Danny Carey - would be teaming up to perform the music of King Crimson’s ’80s lineup. Now they’ve revealed a massive North American tour.

Adrian Belew has announced a new project called Beat that will perform music from his era in King Crimson. Tony Levin will be joining him for it as well as guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey.
