The third recording by the Towson State University Jazz Ensemble (which, for those who find such information useful, is in Maryland) arrived in mid–winter unclothed; that is to say, no booklet, no tray card, no liner notes, only the CD itself in a jewel box. What this means is that no personnel are listed, nor is there any information about the individual tracks such as composer, arranger, soloists or playing times. Fortunately, the music is (almost) intact (there is one sonic shock, but more about that in a moment).

From the 1979 Towson State University Jazz Ensemble, Chain Reaction was also recorded by the Don Ellis Orchestra on the Connection album as well as the World Champion Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps.

From the 1985 Towson State University Jazz Ensemble, one of the few original Levy charts written in 4/4. Mucho Gusto, Los Medanos features tenor sax and trumpet solos with a driving Latin inspired brass section. About halfway through an intriguing duo takes place between the drummer and trumpets, trombones playing in rhythmic unison. The rhythm section takes center stage as guitar and piano take turns soloing through the last third of the chart. Green Dolphin Street.
