The title track, “Comes Love,” jumps right out at you. There’s something distinctive about Loston Harris’ voice and his piano on his N2K Encoded Music debut. Something that calls for repeated listening.

Visiting Professor Ellis Marsalis changed that when he heard Harris messin’ with the piano. “He said that I had a very natural touch on the instrument and that I should pursue the piano,” Harris recalls. “So I chose to study with him and see if I could develop it a little more.”
