Allegra Levy: Looking at the Moon

Teamed with Carmen Staaf/g, Alex Goodman/g and Tim Norton/b, Allegra goes lunar by singing material from the Great Moon Songbook. Her voice is flexible in its approach to the material, going sandied with delicate harplike guitar tunings on “Moon River” while scatting in a doo wop fashion on the fun “Blue Moon.” Her voice stretches with elasticity with bowed bass on “Polkadots and Moonbeams” while creating an ominous shadow for “No Moon at All.” The team delivers cozy swing for “I’ll Be Seeing You” and the clearly enunciated “I Got the Sun in the Morning” while she bops over lurking support on “Moon Ray.” No eclipses here; she shines brightly.
