Most jazz vocalists sing standards: Allegra Levy writes her own. From the plaintive title track of her boldly autobiographical debut album, Lonely City, to the haunting strains of her latest release, Cities Between Us, the 27–year–old Levy has penned a lyrical collection of harmonically adventurous yet familiar originals steeped in the tradition of the Great American Songbook. This former New England Conservatory student is creating a special place for herself in today’s jazz scene with her sweet yet swinging alto voice and catchy, emotive originals like “Cherry Blossom Song” and “Dear Friend” alongside such classics as “Yesterdays.”
