Loston Harris' piano playing has been described as "percussive" and
"incredibly fluid." His vocals noted as "suave."
For almost two decades, Loston has headlined at a "home" that shares
his passion for timeless music. The legendary Bemelmans Bar.
After meeting at the Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition, Harry Connick
Jr. led Loston to study with his mentor, Ellis Marsalis, who
encouraged him to switch instruments from drums to piano.
Loston blends 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, jazz is "hip, serious, complex,
improvisational and limitless."
Loston has performed with multiple Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize
winner Wynton Marsalis; appeared on "Portraits in Blue" with Grammy
Nominee, Marcus Roberts.
Loston is in-demand at celebrity and charity events having performed
at George Clooney's Birthday with John Mayer; playing for Sarah
Jessica Parker at her private VIP after-party for the "Sex in the City
Movie"; was selected by Tom Cruise to sing and play at his ICON Award
Ceremony and a personal highlight occurred when Sir Paul McCartney sat
in and sang "The Very Thought of You"!
Frank Sinatra, Bobby Short and Nat King Cole can rest comfortably
knowing that Loston Harris is keeping the flame alive.
