Welcome to the new JLevyMusic.com

Welcome to Jeremy Levy's new website. I'll be adding new content as fast as I can, but I just wanted to welcome new visitors to explore my completely revamped web space. Let me know what you think of the new design through Facebook, Twitter, or just an old fashioned email.

What’s New

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.

Budman/Levy Orchestra Releases Debut Album

I'm proud to announce the release of the new album "From There to Here" by my big band I co-lead with saxophonist Alex Budman. We've been working very hard to bring this album together, and after two years of recording, editing, and mixing, it is finally finished! Please take a look at the new website devoted to the Budman/Levy Orchestra. We've got audio samples and a link to my new web store where you can purchase it, along with scores from the album.

“From There to Here” - All charts now available

After extensive editing work, all of the charts from the Budman/Levy Orchestra's debut recording are now availble.  Everything got a fresh coat of paint, and an extra dosage of well thought out page turns.  Check them out at my shop.

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.

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.

Sammy Nestico Award 2010

I was awarded the Sammy Nestico Award in jazz arranging in 2010.  My piece,"Blues for Pembroke" was performed by the Airmen of Note as part of a concert at George Washington University.  It was a great honor meeting Sammy Nestico, one of my earliest writing influences.  Being told by Sammy that your chart "really swung", is something I will always remember.  As you can imagine, the band sounded fantastic.  I recently wrote a new commission for the Airmen that will be performed later this year on tour.
