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. "Scintillating lyrics...Bob Levy has a way with words. Just beautiful!" LORETTA CORMIER, Jazz Vocalist & Recording Artist, TX "Bob Levy's Why Pretend? is absolutely a standard. Wonderful stuff!. KAREN JACOBSEN, Pop Singer, Songwriter & Recording Artist, NYC "It's easy to see that Bob Levy enjoys writing jazz and excels at it!" DAMIAN MARCHAND, Vocalist & Recording Artist, Brandon, SD "Wow! Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful songs and great vocals. A very gifted songwriter indeed." DEBRA CILINGIN, Jazz Vocalist, Norwalk, CT "Bob Levy's songs have a very warm and swinging sound and style. Kudo's on his songwriting. I wish him much success!" ROSEANNA VITRO, Challenge Record Artist & 2004 US Jazz Ambassador. "Out In The Cold" is so smooth and classy!
