Dori Levine

DORI LEVINE is a distinguished veteran of New York City's jazz vocal scene, celebrated for her originality, expressive range, and mastery of scat singing. Equally at home interpreting jazz standards or exploring the boundaries of free improvisation, Dori surprises with her impressive vocabulary of vocal techniques.

She has graced many of New York’s most prestigious venues, including The Blue Note, Birdland, Steinway Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, 55 Bar, The Prospect Park Bandshell, and the Cornelia Street Café. Dori has been a member of Jay Clayton’s Different Voices, heard at Kitano and Zeb’s. In addition she performed with Kirk Nurock’s Natural Sounds Ensemble on the main stage of Carnegie Hall.

Her international performances include the Brighton Festival in the UK and at the Villa Torre del Lago among other venues in Tuscany, Italy. In addition to her live work, Dori’s voice can be heard in pieces by renowned video artist Dara Birnbaum, archived at the Museum of Modern Art.

Dori has had the honor of being a former student of the legendary pianist and teacher Lennie Tristano providing a foundation for her personal brand of jazz singing.
