About Luther S. Allison
Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Luther S. Allison is a multi-instrumentalist (pianist and drummer) who has performed nationally and internationally alongside the likes of Rodney Whitaker, Jazzmeia Horn, The Baylor Project, Samara Joy, Gregory Tardy, Ulysses Owens Jr and others. In 2024 Allison won his first Grammy Award as accompanist for Samara Joy in the category for Best Jazz Performance. In addition to teaching on faculty every year at the Brevard Jazz Institute summer camp in North Carolina, Allison has worked as a clinician in Mexico, China, Japan, Switzerland, St. Lucia, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Outside of his work as a sideman, Allison band-leads his trio, sextet, and octet featuring original compositions and arrangements rooted in his influences from all forms of Black American music. In July 2024 Luther released his debut album as a leader entitled, I Owe It All To You. I Owe It All To You takes listeners on an explorative journey through Allison's many influences and is an ode to his many musical mentors.
