If you've never been, the Blue Whale is a fantastic music space in downtown's Little Tokyo neighborhood. Joon Lee, the owner, has gotten some fantastic press on the club. Join us there on the 19th for a night of great tunes.

New charts for sale

I'm slowly going to be bringing in more charts for sale onto my web shop. I've been writing new music for the band that is currently not publicly available. I'll also be refreshing some old classics of mine.

To get started, here's the first one: Ode to Abbott

And, here's one of my better known charts: Blues For Pembroke. I won the 2010 Sammy Nestico Award for this one.

Stay tuned for more new music!

Busy Summer

After a very busy Summer, thought I would share what I've been up to the past few months.

I had the pleasure to work with the orchestration team on the upcoming Tom Cruise film, "Jack Reacher" with composer Joe Kraemer.  The score recorded at Sony's historic sound stage with a huge orchestra over four days. Take a look at the humongous low brass section, featuring cimbassos and contrabass trombone. This looks to be a great action film, so check it out when it hits theaters.

I also had the pleasure to contribute a few arrangements to Matthew Morrison's (of Glee fame) new album. Legendary record producer Phil Ramone was in charge of this record. Very honored to get to work with him. Big thanks to Chris Walden for bringing me in to help. Looking forward to seeing this released soon.

My first record, "From There to Here" with my band, the Budman/Levy Orchestra has been getting rave reviews.  OA2 Records has congregated the best of them on their web site here. We've also got a show at Typhoon coming up in August.

Falling Skies - Today We Fight

I scored the back half of this promo for the TNT show, "Falling Skies."  Thanks to Digital Kitchen, for bringing me on board to help. It's a very cool integration of Facebook, with the content of the show.  Hope you like it!

Interview at the Finale Blog

My friend Scott Yoho from Make Music, just did a Finale Spotlight interview with me over at the Finale Blog.  We chat about the new record, and some of my favorite Finale plug-ins.  I included some sample scores and parts from two tunes, as well.

What’s New

jeremy levy

It's been a busy couple of years. I've been fortunate to work on many great projects as an orchestrator. Most recently, I've been helping composer Jim Dooley with his score for a new video game. Over the years I've worked with Jim on a variety of projects including: Pushing Daises, Infamous 2, Monsters VS Aliens (the video game), and The Simpsons Video game.

Last year, I had the pleasure to work on two television shows: The Event, with composer Scott Starrett, and No Ordinary Family with composer Blake Neely. Another big project was the film Tower Heist for composer Christophe Beck.

Prior to that, I was fortunate to work on three big video game releases: Batman: Arkham City, Infamous 2, and God of War 3.

Good times under the Umbrella

I've had the pleasure to work with Andy Waterman, of Umbrella Media, over the past few years.  I'm currently providing a re-orchestration of Bernstein's West Side Story for a new choral suite being created by Hal Leonard.  Before that, I provided horn and string arrangements for a new children's musical called, "Dear Santa."  I've also been collaborating with Andy for Hal Leonard's Music Express magazine, providing horn arrangements to liven up the rhythm tracks.
