It was Oscar Petersen that offered to produce Lorne Lofsky’s first CD, and since this debut his discography has grown to no fewer than 19 CDs including two Juno awards and three more Juno nominations.
“[Lorne] is a very aggressive, harmonically and rhythmically sophisticated player whose unique guitar style bears a striking resemblance to Bill Evans.” – allmusic.com
As a teen, it was Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue” that switched Lorne Lofsky to jazz. Looking back, he has played with jazz legends Chet Baker, Ed Bickert, and Oscar Petersen with whom Lorne has toured around the world.
Based in Toronto for much of his career, Lorne has explored the many subtle faces of the jazz guitar. From this tender sampler of My Foolish Heart to this inspired recording of The Christmas Waltz with Oscar Petersen, Lorne Lofsky has captivated audiences. Joined by Barry Romberg on drums and Kieran Overs on bass, this trio will have a broad dynamic, moments of space and grace, and an open field for virtuosity.
