“Russ Lossing is a pianist of extreme depth and intensity with playing of amazing dexterity and a feeling of total control.” – All About Jazz

American jazz pianist, composer and recording artist Russ Lossing is on the leading edge of the New York jazz scene where he is known for his highly personal and unique improvising voice. Lossing has composed over 300 works, 21 film scores, and has an international reputation as a world class improviser. Paul Motian, Dave Liebman and John Abercrombie are among the many musicians he has performed and recorded with. Lossing has seven releases as leader on Hat Hut, Clean Feed, Fresh Sound, Double Time and OmniTone record labels. His critically acclaimed new solo piano release “All Things Arise” on Hat Hut Records “bridges the worlds of jazz and new music, the pieces feeling as if they arise out of the primal silence of the universe. Even the ‘standards’ feel as if they’re emerging newly formed from a magnificent world of thought and impulse. Lossing’s ‘As It Grows’ on hatOLOGY with Paul Motian and his Clean Feed Records cd ‘Metal Rat’ with Mat Maneri and Mark Dresser have been hailed as “modern masterpieces that blend improvisation and composition seamlessly.”
