   About T Lavitz
'Brand New!'

Visit our store page where you can download songs or full LP's from out of print albums.

Also, check back real soon as we will be offering unique ring tones created by T personally! If you are tired of the same old MIDI sounding rings, or music you don't love, this may be for you.

T Lavitz began his intensive study of classical and jazz piano at age seven. At the same time, the Beatles invaded America, igniting in T a lifelong love of rock music.

By twenty-two, he was asked to join the "rock, jazz, and everything else" instrumental band, the Dixie Dregs. It was a dream come true, because they were one of his favorite bands, even at that relatively early stage in their career.

In addition to the Dixie Dregs, T has performed around the world with Widespread Panic, Mothers Finest, Jefferson Starship, Billy Cobham, and Bill Bruford. As the list of critically acclaimed recordings grows, T says some of his favorite sessions were done with Nils Lofgren, Pat Benatar, The Bluesbusters, Peter Himmelman and perhaps most fondly "...I'll always be a Dreg".

Along with his various other projects and live dates, T is also part time faculty at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and has an instructional book/CD (2008) published by the industry leading Hal Leonard Publishing company.

Back in the studio at the start of 2007, the music for "School of the Arts" was composed. "This is some of my best stuff in a looong time" Lavitz says. Released in October of 2007, this is his first for Magnatude (Magna Carta) Records, and boasts an allstar cast which consists of Dave Weckl, John Patitucci, Frank Gambale, Steve Morse and Jerry Goodman. Regarding this lineup, the response from Lavitz is "...honored to have my music played by guys like this"!

As for the future, T says, "I hope I can continue to play music that's fun to play and is appreciated by all sorts of people. I feel fortunate that I keep on playing with musicians who have something to say."

T,

Just stopping by to say hi since it's been a while. Hope you are staying busy, and that you have lots of projects in the works. We certainly are keeping busy here. You'd think things would have slowed down with the economy and all but, we're busier than ever.

Drop me a line sometime when you have a chance. I'd love to hear what you are up to.

See you in 2009!!!

"It is difficult not to believe that the next year will be better than the old one! And this illusion is not wrong. Future is always good, no matter what happens. It will always give us what we need and what we want in secret. It will always bless us with right gifts. Thus in a deeper sense our belief in the New Year cannot deceive us".
Kersti Bergroth (1886-1975), Finnish writer and playwright
