“A Gift for Sculpting Words…and agile vocalizing…” | The New Yorker

“An Anomaly in the vocal jazz world, a strong original songwriter…she sings your life back to you." | New York Music Daily

"Levy is the new pinup girl for cool." | MIDWEST RECORD

"If Allegra Levy is not yet on every jazz listener's radar, this new album should rectify the situation." | Jazzhistoryonline.com

Allegra Levy continues to accumulate accolades. Named one of the Top Ten Rising Stars among jazz vocalists in Downbeat’s 2021 Critics’ Poll, she has been dubbed a “double-barreled talent” by JazzTimes, and called everything from “sophisticated, worldly, and swinging” to “the new pin-up girl for cool.” She was among last year’s winners of the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for Best Children’s Song.

She was also a 2023 finalist in the International Songwriting Competition’s Children’s Music category for her song “It’s So Hard to Be You.” Plus, she took first place in the 2019 Great American Song Contest’s Adult Contemporary Music category for her pop tune “Waste My Time.” Yet she is equally known for her jazzy originals and rich, emotive, contralto voice. A graduate of New England Conservatory, she proudly serves on the leadership of the Women in Jazz Organization.
