8/14/12 LIONZ (featuring Lionel Loueke and Yuval Lion)

We started this band with Lionel and Yuval about a year ago by just getting together to play at Nublu in the east village. It just clicked right away and we're now finishing our first album!

It's all improvised, all groove based music!
Go to the link to hear some live cuts (that I messed with just a little...)

I love playing with those guys and I hope you'll dig it!

LIONZ Lionel Loueke (Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard), Yuval Lion (Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Chrissie Hynde) and Ben Zwerin (Angelique Kidjo, Lila Downs) team up to share musical stories! LIONZ' headquarters is the cool, eclectic Nublu (home to Brazilian Girls and Forro in the Dark) "Hypnotic, elastic grooves and lines, keep the people singing, dancing and guessing!"
