Dan Alan Levine and guests share Our Kind of Love
Dan Alan Levine was born and raised in the suburbs of New York and graduated from The Manhattan School of Music in NYC. Early in his career, he composed, arranged, orchestrated, and/or composed background music for TV game shows including I’ve Got A Secret, and the theme song for What’s My Line.
His album Over The Moon is soon to be released and the first single release from the album is Our Kind of Love.
Levine has received numerous awards for his many commercials, and music for radio/TV stations through the years. His 80’s hit, “Big Band Meledy”, reached #19 on the Billboard charts and was the most requested new record in NYC for three weeks. An album followed.
He received a Tony Award nomination (best original score) for composing the score of the Broadway Musical, Anna Karenina (aka Daniel Levine). The show received four Tony Award nominations, and was performed in Chicago, and to sold-out audiences in nine Japanese cities….3 separate times.
Levine arranged/orchestrated/produced and played keyboards on the Leslie Uggams album, On My Way To You. He worked on that album in conjunction with some of the music industry’s leading legends including Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Jon Lucien, and Michel Legrand who sang on the album.
He also produced the Off-Broadway cast recording of Thunder Knocking On The Door, and original blues musical written by acclaimed writer Keb’Mo, along with Anderson Edwards, and Keith Glover.
Presently, Dan is creating an exciting array of new music for various artists in collaboration with among others, lyricists Jack DePietro and Ann Hampton Callaway. Dan is also about to release his first smooth jazz album, OVER THE MOON on which he is both composer and keyboard artist, with the first single entitled “OUR KIND OF LOVE” featuring flautist Kim Scott.
