Black Velvet is an album by American jazz guitarist O'Donel Levy recorded in 1971 and released on the Groove Merchant label.

Reception

's Jason Ankeny said: "Black Velvet boasts a smooth, rich texture absent from O'Donel Levy's subsequent Groove Merchant sessions – its mellow, stoned-soul sensibilities nevertheless complement the guitarist perfectly, affording him the space to weave a series of righteously beautiful solos...the arrangements are lovely... Levy also proves himself a composer of some distinction, contributing a pair of charming originals".
