PRAISE FOR 'THE HEART COLLECTOR'...

"The Heart Collector captures beautifully the generously expressive singing and skilled, sensitive guitar work that are winning standing room crowds for Adam Levy." —Elmore Magazine

"It's his guitar virtuosity, melancholy melodies, vocals -- multiple musical personalities -- that will surely mesmerize you." —Minor 7th

"A great album overflowing with warm and soulful songs that enchant the ears and captivate the heart." —No Depression

"If you're looking for an intimate record to absorb and get lost in, this is a good bet." —Snobs Music

PRAISE FOR 'WASHING DAY'...

"In a cow-punk ode titled 'I Shot Her Down,' he commits murder. Pain oozes from Levy’s craggy tenor tones, which he answers with blistering shards of guitar sound.” —San Francisco Chronicle

"When Levy slows down the pace on his spare, melancholic romantic laments 'Unspoken' and 'Longest Day of the Year,' he suggest the craftsmanship of a Freedy Johnston. Levy's lyrical skills really shine on the evocatively rendered title track." —All Music Guide

"Even the thorniest jazzbo snobs can recognize Levy’s potential to pen material for the next Great American Songbook." —Offbeat Magazine

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT ADAM LEVY...

"I suppose many people would call Levy's style 'laid-back.' I'd call it guitar for the mind and soul. It wraps you up and makes you feel good and surely that, in the end, is what it's all about." — Jazz Guitar International

"Levy's guitar exudes Jimmy Raney-like perspicuity." —Tower Records' Pulse!

"Levy can play almost any music style with perceptive depth and strength." —East Bay Express

"Completely wank free." —Guitar Player

OTHER REVIEWS

"Seldom will you hear club jazz as beautifully recorded as Live at Avalon and the Graves by the Lost Trio (plus Adam Levy). It's also exceptionally beautiful music, with Bay Area saxist Phillip Greenlief steering away from the hot bluster and conceptual intellectuality at which he also excels in favor of a gentle lyricism that trips along just above the level of your heartbeat. He clearly wants to make sure you can hear the subtlety of Adam Levy's touch — Levy's one electric guitarist who lends every note and chord its own shading. The selections lean toward standards, but not always the ones you expect: Mel Tillis and Nino Rota nudge up against Billy Strayhorn with zero friction, thanks to the millstream swing of drummer Tom Hassett and bassist Dan Seamans. And all four are together tonight. Buy the CD (a double); you'll be glad you did."
