📃 About LUTHER S. ALLISON:
A rising star on the jazz scene, Luther is a multi-instrumentalist specializing in both piano and drums.
Originally hailing from Charlotte, NC, in 2017 he earned his BM in Studio Music & Jazz from The University of Tennessee and his MM in Jazz Studies from Michigan State University in 2019.
Upon graduation, Luther moved to NYC where he quickly became a regular on the bandstand at some of the city’s premiere jazz clubs including Dizzy’s, Smalls Jazz Club, The Jazz Standard, Mezzrow, Smoke Jazz Club, and Minton’s.
Luther has performed nationally and internationally alongside the likes of Rodney Whitaker, Jazzmeia Horn, The Baylor Project, Samara Joy, Gregory Tardy, Ulysses Owens Jr. and many more.
In addition to teaching on faculty every year at the Brevard Jazz Institute summer camp in North Carolina, he has worked as a clinician in Mexico, China, Japan, Switzerland, St. Lucia, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Outside of his work as a sideman, he band-leads his trio, sextet, and octet featuring original compositions and arrangements rooted in his influences from R&B, country, and gospel.
Luther accredits a great deal of his compositional inspiration and musical development to his experience playing in the black church along with the sounds of Earth Wind & Fire, Anita Baker, Sly and The Family Stone, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and many others playing in his household throughout his upbringing.
