Artist of the day: Level 10

Level_10-band 

Tampa's Level 10 has toured around the world performing smooth Brazilian jazz and samba at festivals and other major events.

Levy DeAndrade (keyboards), Rex Freligh (sax), Ignacio Marin (percussion), Yovannis Roque (bass) and Kenny Suares (drums) will be part of the Clearwater Jazz 'n' Art Walk, part of the Clearwater Jazz Holiday in October.

On Wednesday, they'll be playing a show with Tampa Blue Note sax heavyweight Eric Darius at the Venue, 2675 Ulmerton Road in Clearwater, to celebrate local station Smooth Jazz 94.1 switching places on the radio dial with Wild 98.7 (the switchover happens Wednesday).

50rockWhy would anyone voluntarily attempt to see 50 concerts at 50 different venues in a single summer? Jay Cridlin shrugged and thought: Eh, why not.
