"To describe one of my favorite piano players I have had the pleasure of playing with is to say "Louis Durra, a true innovator". Louis is full of excitement. His original music is always fun and challenging. His desire and interpretation of standards and any kind of pop tune just pulls you into your best playing.
Louis is always in a creative mode when I play with him. I'm in for the fact that it can and will go anywhere possible. You know, that's what it's ALL about. One of his great accomplishments, and one my favorites, is backing vocalists. His palate is broad and amazingly colorful.
Louis, thanks for the pleasure of playing with you on your CD, WHAT WE HAVE" -- Bassist Domenic Genova
“I’ve had the great pleasure of hearing Louis play on several of my film scores. He is one of the most musical, inventive, sensitive and giving musicians I’ve ever worked with. He never ceases to surprise, delight, and move me with his approach to the music. His fluid virtuosity transcends any specific style. I only wish I’d known him when I was a performing musician. He would be an inspiration and a blast at any gig! Five stars!” --Miriam Cutler, film composer.
"The great thing about Louis' playing and composing is that his influences never give him away. He never mops the floor with a ballad or pounds the music into submission when he plays bop, like so many others. He is an elegant, lyrical musician worthy of his own nameplate on the door of Jazz. He has a lot to say, some of it purposely funny, which in itself is very, very rare. If there must be blurb: Ahmad Jamal meets Hank Jones meets Herbie Hancock meets...Harpo Marx." -- Matt Aschkynazo, Guitarist
"When Louis Durra plays live in concert with the Jazz Tap Ensemble, everybody wins! He brings great strength and beauty to his well informed playing. The tap dancers appreciate his energy and skill, and especially treasure his sensitivity to the live exchange on stage. And of course the band digs his depth. He has contributed mightily to our success on tour across the U.S." -- Lynn Dally, Artistic Director, Jazz Tap Ensemble
