Getting nowhere slowly with this. The last part of the clue had me thinking of 'drove the chevy to the levy' of course and no I there. Then I was thinking Charles Ives.
All jazzed up - there is a jazz festival at St. Ives. Turning a blind eye - Gen. Wm. Booth (Sally Army) lost an eye during an operation not long before his death. Vachel Lindsay wrote a poem (General Wm. Enters into Heaven) and Charles Ives set it to music as Gen. Booth's daughter lived next to his family and they were friends. As to the levy, then thought maybe Burl Ives? All totally wrong of course!!! But I just thought I would say.

All jazzed up could be 'The Fourth of July' and the levy refer to 'My Old Kentucky Home' but I just wanted to say to BtS, we are thinking about it!! And getting nowhere. Maybe someone else has an inkling?
But not much good at cryptic, although I do attempt a crossword now and again. I don't think it is Ives, but I will let you into a secret. If I had won the last one (Harty) I would have chosen Ives so genned up on him a bit. He has so many totally weird titles.
But could I invite you instead to Mynyddislwyn?
