Luther S. Allison Trio | 8 PM

Luther S. Allison, piano | Zwelakhe-Duma F. Bell le Pere, bass | Anwar Marshall, drums

Winner of a 2024 GRAMMY Award for his work with vocalist Samara Joy, Luther S. Allison is one of today’s most in-demand jazz artists. Allison is a double threat and then some; he has worked with some of the brightest stars in jazz — such as Jazzmeia Horn, Helen Sung, Rodney Whitaker, Etienne Charles, and Ulysses Owens Jr — and been called on by them to perform on piano, drums, or both. Having grown up in the south, Allison’s unique style is rooted in blues and gospel, with strong influences from bebop and soul music.
