A major arranger, Hank Levy is best-known for his longtime association with <a href="spotify:artist:27hSR8e34ZM5vj5fUFixyb">Stan Kenton's Orchestra</a>. He studied music at several different institutions (the U.S. Navy School of Music, the College of William & Mary, Peabody Conservatory, the Catholic University of America, and Towson State University), and early on developed a highly original arranging style. Levy first started writing for <a href="spotify:artist:27hSR8e34ZM5vj5fUFixyb">Kenton</a> in 1953 and later on wrote for <a href="spotify:artist:2tcW4k7SmiDyOgHf0svhff">Sal Salvador</a> (1960-1962), <a href="spotify:artist:6sPeUcMcOc2n0M7m1qHAer">Don Ellis</a> (in the mid-'60s), and for the studios. An expert at writing in advanced time signatures (which was a major asset with <a href="spotify:artist:6sPeUcMcOc2n0M7m1qHAer">Ellis</a>' band as can be heard on Live at Monterey), Levy became a major force in <a href="spotify:artist:27hSR8e34ZM5vj5fUFixyb">Stan Kenton</a>'s jazz workshops. Hank Levy, who was one of <a href="spotify:artist:27hSR8e34ZM5vj5fUFixyb">Kenton</a>'s chief arrangers during his final decade, has been an important jazz educator (including at Town State) since the late '60s, and a strong (if unsung) influence on today's arrangers. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
