New York drummer Ray LeVier brings together some of the world?s most creative jazz voices for his debut recording as a leader. With guitarists Mike Stern and John Abercrombie, saxophonist Dave Binney, vibist Joe Locke, and Francois Moutin on bass, among others, LeVier has produced a stirring and cohesive album of original music. From the hard-hitting grooves on several of Mike Stern's contributions to the flowing and fresh reading of John Abercrombie?s classic "Ralph's Piano Waltz," "Ray's Way" stands as an inspired introduction to a gifted composer, drummer and producer.
