by Scott Yanow
Mark Levine has long mastered the unusual double of piano and valve trombone, being equally skilled on both instruments. Levine graduated from Boston University in 1960 with a music degree. He moved to New York shortly afterwards, freelancing and playing with a variety of top players including Houston Person (1966), Mongo Santamaria (1969-1970), Willie Bobo (1971-1974), Joe Henderson, and Gabor Szabo. Levine relocated to San Francisco in the mid-'70s where he played with Woody Shaw (1975-1976), the Blue Mitchell/Harold Land Quintet (1975-1979), Joe Henderson, Stan Getz, Bobby Hutcherson, Luis Gasca, and Cal Tjader (1979-83). Since then Levine has primarily led his own groups. For a few years, he de-emphasized the piano and sought to make a living as a valve trombonist, but eventually realized that he could get more work as a pianist. Mark Levine has led sets for Catalyst (1976) and Concord (1983 and 1985).

Starting in the late '90s, San Francisco-based pianist Mark Levine led an excellent Afro-Cuban jazz quartet called the Latin Tinge. Levine -- who early in his career had associations with Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, and Cal Tjader (1979-1983) in addition to Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Stan Getz, and Bobby Hutcherson -- is an excellent hard bop player who has a real feel for Latin jazz. The Latin Tinge consists of Levine's fluent piano, bassist Peter Barshay, drummer Paul Van Wageningen, and percussionist Michael Spiro. On this CD, the quartet performs originals and obscurities plus Latinized versions of McCoy Tyner's "Effendi," Wayne Shorter's "Angola," "You're My Everything," "Sugar," and two Joe Henderson songs: "A Shade of Jade" and "Inner Urge." Although few surprises occur, the rhythmic grooves are quite infectious, the musicians listen closely to each other, the repertoire is diverse, and Mark Levine's piano is a joy to hear. Fun music.
