Ron Levy – composer, producer, organ, piano, electric pianos, vibes, strings, basses, clavinet, Melvin Sparks - guitar, Karl Denson - sax/flute, "Sax" Gordon - bari-sax, Arkady Beletsky - strings, Jeff Lockhart - guitar, Russ Lawton - drums, Yahuba Garcia - percussion.
"After Midnight Grooves (Levtron 204) is the latest from Ron Levy's Wild Kingdom, on which the legendary organist and producer lays down a steamy set of soul-jazz tinged with Latin and funk. The supporting cast is outrageous: 3 percussionists keep things cooking, Karl Denson is a key player on sax and flute, and acid jazz legend Melvin Sparks lays down devastating, tasteful guitar solos on 'Groovin Wichu' the title track, and 'Just the Way it Went'. The most accessible cut might be 'Like Back in the Day', with its on the-edge-of-your-memory melody, but strings and programming make 'Keepin' Up the Love' (with great guitar from Jeff Lockhart) and 'Back at the Loveshack' equally hip. Levy's piano and vibes add essential texture, his B-3 technique puts him in the top rank of todays traditionalists, and his compositional and arrangements skills put him in the next decade." ~ Blues Revue
