The Jazz Voyager

Coming off a fantastic performance by Cecilé McLorin Salvant in Miami, The Jazz Voyager is heading out of the South and up the East Coast for colder temperatures in Beantown to hang out at Scullers Jazz Club, and catch a pianist I haven’t seen in more than two decades. I was extremely impressed by his talent and his name is Loston Harris. As usual, after a relaxed dinner, I’ll be catching the second set which for me is the best.

After meeting Harry Connick, Jr. at the 1st Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition in Washington, DC, Connick led Loston to study with his mentor, Ellis Marsalis, who encouraged him to switch from drums to piano. The rest, as they say, is history. Blending jazz, gospel and blues with his own unique styling, Harris takes the Great American Songbook to new heights. He has toured and performed with numerous Grammy Award and Pulitzer winner Wynton Marsalis, and appeared in the PBS special Portraits in Blue with Grammy nominated pianist Marcus Roberts.

Since 1989 Scullers has presented the biggest names in straight ahead,Latin and Contemporary jazz along with blues, soul, r&b, and world music. It swet a new standard for jazz clubs in Boston with a world-class roster of renowned jazz artists.The club is located at 400 Soldiers Field Road, Boston, Massachusetts 02134. In the area or flying in and have the time, support jazz and hear a phenomenal musician and vocalist.

Sculler’s number is 617-747-2261. If you want to get more information visit https://notoriousjazz.com/event/loston-harris.
