Alex Levin: News

My trio will be traveling up north this summer as musicians in residence at Bread Loaf School of English in Middlebury, Vermont. We will be playing concerts and helping to make this a musical summer. I hope that you will check the calendar page for updates on performance dates and times.

See you soon!

Yours,
Alex

Hi there! This year my trio will record with a stellar vocalist who will knock your socks off! I'm not going to reveal any names just yet, but we are hard at work putting music together and hope to record this spring.

Also, fans of Night and Distance, our first CD, will be happy to know that the trio will be recording an album of music by Gershwin and Cole Porter. Look for a release late in 2007 or early in 2008. Thanks so much for keeping up with the news, and please sign up for the mailing list for even more info! Bye!

Our second CD, A Reason for Being Alone, is now available! The recording has been featured on WGBH, Boston Public Radio, and the CD is being showcased at Allaboutjazz.com. We hope that you'll check it out!

Love,
Alex and the Trio

Although my new CD has not yet been released, a few people have heard it, and the reviews have been very positive.

Saxophonist Vincent Herring wrote, "Alex Levin's second release is a true reflection of his passionate musical personality and creative composing. An outstanding recording."

Pianist Anthony Wonsey had this to say: "'A Reason for Being Alone' features beautiful compositions and great ensemble playing, as well as nice orchestrations from Alex Levin. The music is transporting, like a score for a film that has yet to be produced. Alex is a romantic who, I can tell, believes in love!"

Stay tuned for more information on the new CD! Thank you for stopping by!

I am so pleased to announce that my second CD will be released this fall by Apology Records, a boutique label based in New York City. Watch this space for news about the launch of Apology Records' new web page.

In addition to this news, I am also happy to let you know that my music will be distributed in Japan by Favorites International Distribution (http://www.favorites-international.com).

I am pleased to hear that my music has been so warmly received in Japan!

Thank you to everyone for your continued support!

Love,
Alex

Hi! Thanks for visiting! This June I have been working on finalizing the CD as much as possible before I leave for Asheville in July. I plan on returning and publishing the CD in August, and then we will line up a series of CD release concerts around town.

If I don't catch you in Asheville, I hope to see you in August in New York!

Much Love,
Alex

Hi! Thanks for visiting! I am pleased to announce that our recordings have been completed for the second CD. It should be mixed, mastered and released by the end of the summer. I'm looking forward to celebrating the new release with our listeners and fans!

Please be sure to sign the guestbook before you leave!

Hello! Thanks for visiting my website. It has been a very busy spring. Between playing with the trio, solo piano gigs, preparing for the recording and teaching, I hardly have time to go for a walk and enjoy the beautiful weather. But every now and then it is so wonderful to be able to walk around outside and see all of my friends in the neighborhood. I hope I'll see you this spring. We're recording on April 18th at Systems Two Studio in Brooklyn, and we'll finish the recordings in early May. At this point, I would guess our new CD will be available in late August or September. Please stop back and visit the calendar when you have a chance.
I wish you all a wonderful spring!

Love,
Alex

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for your continuing support of my music. In January my CD, Night and Distance, sold out at CDbaby.com! It is no longer available, and I want to thank everyone who bought a copy for helping to make my first CD a success! My trio's second CD is on its way, and I promise that it will be a continuation and fulfillment of much of the promise you heard on our first CD! We are currently in rehearsals and should be recording in March. Also, please continue to check the calendar for updates on shows--there is an exciting evening coming up in March that I hope you can come out for!

Finally, let me add that Night and Distance is becoming available at multiple dowload sites, including Napster and MSN Music! Please let your friends know about the CD if you like it! Happy Valentine's Day, and stay warm--only six more weeks of winter to go!

Yours,
Alex

December is off to an exciting start! I have a number of holiday gigs and Night and Distance is almost completely sold out. This week I will be recording original music for a film score. The film, called Park Stories, will be shown at festivals throughout Europe and (hopefully) the United States. I am hard at work finalizing my song list for my second CD, which I will be recording in the spring. Those of you who were at Detour in November know that the band has reached an exciting new level of musicianship. I am anxious to share it with all of you. Please be in touch and stay tuned for more news! Thank you for visiting!

Love,
Alex

Thanks for all of you who came out to see my trio at Detour last night! It was great fun to play for such a receptive and appreciative audience. We'll be back in late January so please check the CALENDAR for more information.

I am available on New Year's Eve with my trio, should anyone be looking for a great party band! If you like my music, please let your friends know about what I do. Word of mouth is always the best way for people to discover new music! There are only 6 copies of Night and Distance at Cdbaby.com Don't wait if you are planning to pick one up for the holidays!
