LOOKING AT THE MOON

Description

3rd album for this very young American jazz singer after her 1st album, which was praised by critics in 2014. And the 2nd, released in March 2017. 1st vinyl edition for this album released in 2018. Upon the release of this album on CD in 2018, it received the “Editor's Pick” seal and the following comment from JazzTimes: “Throughout the album, Levy's distinctive warm and cool vibe - equal parts Julie London and Chris Conner - and her flawless articulation shine brightly.” Christopher Loudon - JazzTimes “Fresh... exotic... and far beyond the ordinary” (The New York Times) is one of the many accolades the press worldwide has bestowed on Allegra since her debut album “Lonely City” (SCCD 33118) a few years ago. While Allegra Levy's second album “Cities Between Us” (SCCD 31827) consolidated her strong talent as a singer-songwriter, here, on her third album, Allegra, the singer comes to the forefront performing time-tested songs as well as more recent songs on the theme of the moon. “Levy is a gifted lyricist and she often writes light but personal thoughts and observations. Fans of singing should seek it out because Levy occupies a new and rewarding place in the pantheon of singers. A carefully produced CD, full of rewards.” (Robert D. Rusch - Papatamas on SCCD 31827 Cities Between Us) “Levy is a new and fresh voice, with songs steeped in tradition and ready to join the canon.” (Jim Motavalli - New York City Jazz Record on SCCD 31827 Cities Between Us).
