"The songs of Bob Levy are a resource well worth mining when looking for good new material, and this festive celebration was as fine an introduction to his work as one could wish for. Sue Matsuki and Dane Vannatter co-hosted the proceedings with equal measures of affection and admiration, and they shared the singing honors with several other performers. To a man (or woman), all of the artists did commendable work, with Laurie Krauz knocking it out of the ballpark with her three numbers." Roy Sander, critic and columnist, NYC 6/24/07

Bob Levy, Silk River Music, is a member of The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) in New York, The Songwriters Guild of America and the Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs (MAC). Bob is an Award winning, Multi Published and Recorded Songwriter and Lyricist. Out In the Cold is his first jazz CD after more than ten years of writing country songs for many Nashville artists. Bob went back to his jazz roots for this exciting CD of "New Jazz Standards" that evokes memories of Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme classics. Rich ballads, romantic bossa novas and swing. Bob Levy's songs are performed by the wonderful new jazz vocalist, Perry Danos. "Perry Danos is the perfect blend of Harry Connick, Jr., Tony Bennett and Michael Buble. His warm, rich voice and natural delivery goes right to the heart of a jazz song. Perry's style and interpretation are uniquely his own", says Levy. Joining Perry on this CD is Shelly Miller whose beautiful, silky voice is reminiscent of Grammy winner Norah Jones. Bob's special guest is the exceptionally talented Dane Vannatter, Back Stage Magazine's 2006 Bistro Award Winner and 2007 Nightlife Awards Finalist.
"Out In The Cold" is available at CDbaby and iTunes

PEOPLE ARE TALKING:
"For those who have said that they don't write songs like they used to, Bob Levy proves them wrong. Bob's songs are timeless and not topical. They harken back to the classical Great American Songbook, when melodies were strong and the lyrics caressed the notes instead of squashing them like so many contemporary song lyrics do. His themes are timeless too and his songs are satisfying to sing. They swing lightly and my musicians like playing them and they appreciate the jazzy chord changes. The songs are strong enough so that there is not much need to over-interpret or over sing. I just enjoy the ride like I would a great Ellington song. I was drawn to the lyrics of these songs. There's some nice depth to both songs that I recorded, but they don't get sappy or sentimental. Most songwriters today are knocking us over the head with syllables. Bob's songs have none of this harshness. They are sweet and simple but not simple-minded. I love the lyrics from top to bottom. I love the music, how the words sit on the notes. His songs are classic and understated. Absolutely memorable!" DANE VANNATTER, Boston, MA
"Out In the Cold", Love the songs! Love them all! Keep them coming." SHAWN RYAN, Jazz/Cabaret & Recording Artist, LA & NBC's America's Got Talent.
