In fact, the range of his talents was astonishing. Levant composed popular songs, film scores, and concert music. On Broadway, he worked both as an actor and as a conductor. Before he made his many recordings for Columbia Masterworks, he had recorded with Ben Bernie's band and with saxophonist Rudy Wiedoeft.
