Great latin-soul-jazz Hammond grooves!
author: Marco Vienna
Ron Levy has developed definitely a very unique style in his Hammond playing. The music in this CD is a crossover between jazz, soul and latin grooves and moods. The tune are somewhat simple but clever, rhythms slow but burning, solos straight but always interesting. The band members are top class, especially Melvin Sparks, one of my favourite jazz/soul/blues guitarist. Not the usual Hammondish licks and bag of tricks... if you are a bit tired of listening to happy-dinner-party-style-shuffle-pentatonic-blues in F, this is a CD you'll enjoy a lot and you'll listen to often. Moody, nocturnal, intriguing, sexy, hot, dark, mysterious...
A really fresh and fashinating addition to my organ records collection.

These pleasureable persuasions are pleasing to the senses!!
author: 'Smacjazz' Mack
Ron Levy's Wild Kingdom has not only; captured the pleasureable essence of physical romanticism, through his spiritual writing and playing but, his band has imprinted passion right onto the disc! The gentle roaving organist has made it possible to be not only hip but, peevishly cool and funky too. The title track leads the way...especially when you hear Karl Denson's inspiring flute woaven into this titillating tapestry. After Midnight is inspiring and evocative without being foolishly overt. Ron's vibes and keys wiggle and twist along a friendly up-tempo set of couplish tunes. Melvin Sparks appears on 3 tracks. Lev uses two gamers on drums this time. Russ lawton and his pulsing beats are the perfect compliment to Levy's ticklishly bluesy lill' strut on 'Groovin' Wichu.' Meanwhile, Adrone 'Acid Man' MacHine keeps time with the brilliant pulses of percussionist extrordinaire Yahuba Garcia. Garcia's congas and Ron's folksy solos on 'Keepin' Up The Love' just dazzle yah! Lev has a few special guests to keep the listener off ballance as well. Karl Denson brings his saxaphone and his A-game to the office as well! This project is inventive and sassy! Brilliant musicianship and superlative writing once again Lev!
