dino losito
"An inspired bopster who coaxes every bit of soul out of the piano. Dino Losito is an exciting young pianist who's solos are inventive and most importantly have a message". John Gilbert/California Jazz Coast."As a practioner within the mainstream tradition, Losito speaks with a sense of clarity and a bell-like touch that makes his improvisations very appealing" Chris Hovan/ All About Jazz."A Clearly secure player marked by sensitivity that comes from getting inside the tunes" Budd Kopman/ Cadence Magazine."Losito puts together ideas in a continuum devoid of clutter. His touch at the keyboard is firm, yet it has an elastic, even soft characteristic; his rhythmic sensibility accommodates a relaxed feeling in the midst of a stable core" David A. Orthmann/All About Jazz."A musican of unquestioned technical gifts that will move you in many ways" pianist Pete Malinverni.
