Old friends, legendary brothers LEVIN (Tony and Pete), and LA BARBERA (Pat & Joe), have decided to join brotherly forces together and to go back to their roots - jazz. USA West Coast tour is planned for January 2024, and if their busy schedules permit, they will be visiting the East Coast of USA and Canada later in 2024. Or maybe more?
