Summary: Buy this CD
Comment: If you like an eclectic blend of jazz, rock and funk then this is the CD you should buy. One of the best 'best of' albums ever produced. Stellar musicianship and expert composition. Most of the other reviews sum it up pretty well.

Summary: Allman brothers spinoff
Comment: I tried this CD after becoming a fan of Chuck leavell. It is an interesting mix of Funk, latina, jazz, and rock. A great album overall though the various styles don't always blend.

Summary: "best of" rarely is.
Comment: my familiarity with sea level was limited to "on the edge," which i've had on vinyl for 27 years. i'd hoped to get it in cd but its not out in that format yet. i took a chance on the "best of" cd, and i have to say i'm disappointed. i loved sea level's instrumentals, and this compilation has too much vocals for my preference. furthermore, after one listen of "shake a leg", i cannot shake that refrain from my mind. don't misunderstand me, i love chuck leavell's work - with ABB, the stones,and his solo efforts. i hope sea level releases "on the edge" in cd format soon. in the meantime, i think i'll buy one of those new turntables and start burning my favorite old vinyl albums to cd format.

Summary: Terrific Southern Rock'in
Comment: The Best of Sea Level is an excellant collection of the band's southern rock and jazz fusion sound. Founded by Chuck Leavell (Allman Brothers Band and now with the Stones) in the late 70's following a break up of ABB, the band's sound is a departure from Southern Rock and Roll, leaning more towards fusion jazz and Levell's fanastic piano and keyborad work. If you loved ABB's "Jessica" and "High Falls" you'll love Sea Level's sound.

Summary: Showing off their musicianship
Comment: I saw Sea Level at Constitution Hall back around the mid 70's. At one point, Chuck Levell stood up from the key board and played the grand piano like a harp! Amazing musicians ahead of their time.
