About this Event
Pianist Loston Harris is doing his part to continue a legacy by blending traditional jazz, gospel and blues with his own unique stylings. With early musical inspirations ranging from artists such as Stevie Wonder, Carole King and other notable pop and R & B bands, it was jazz that ultimately chose Loston and Loston chose jazz. For Loston, jazz is “hip, serious, complex, improvisational and limitless”.
Loston’s career in music has been significant, and he’ll tell you he is living his dream. He has performed and toured with multiple Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Wynton Marsalis and appeared worldwide on the PBS special “Portraits in Blue” with fellow pianist and Grammy Nominee, Marcus Roberts.
Loston’s previous CDs (Stepping Stones, Comes Love, Timeless, and Why Try To Change Me Now?) were all released to rave reviews. — His fifth release, Swingfully Yours, (Magenta Label Group), features swinging arrangements of timeless standards from the Great American Songbook. George Gershwin, Harold Arlen and Sammy Cahn are all embraced on the release, along with a fresh sound from his new band. Featuring Ian Hendrickson-Smith (tenor saxophone), Gianluca Renzi (bass) and Carmen Intorre Jr. (drums), the quartet brings a lively approach to these Great American classics.
