Louis Landon
I am a composer and Steinway artist. Formerly of New York and currently living in Sedona, Arizona, I have dedicated my life to music. My career has taken me around the world playing a variety of styles with some of the most recognized names in the entertainment industry. I toured nationally and internationally, playing classical music for Mikhail Baryshnikov; jazz fusion with The John Payne Band; Latin music with "Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers”; pop music with Rupert "Pina Colada Song" Holmes; and rock & roll with John Hall, opening for "Little Feat”.
I began playing the piano by ear at 4 years old and began lessons at 5. As a teenager, I played guitar and keyboard in bands and went on to study music at Stony Brook University, Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music.
For the past 31 years, through my production company, Landon Music Company, I have written and produced music for film, video, and commercials. I recorded my first original album, Love Songs & Jazz, in 1994 and have since released 39 Albums/CDs on the LCI Record label. My latest, entitled Provocative Piano, was released on January 29, 2021.
My mission: To create a more compassionate world by writing, recording and performing music that inspires love, peace, joy and gratitude.
Reviews: “While some pianists are virtuosos in their playing and others may not be as technically proficient, but have great emotional content in their music, Louis Landon brings it all together with impeccable style and grace. His work covers diverse compositional terrain, incorporating influences of classical, new age, jazz, pop, and more in a mellifluous spectrum of moods and musical colors.” Michaeldiamondmusic.com
"He has a gift for composition that is second to none." Zone Music Reporter
"… indeed meditative and mellow, [he] sacrifices no musical rigor to achieve those ends. With backgrounds in jazz, Latin music, rock, pop, film composing, and classical piano, Louis brings his breadth and depth of experience to bear here. His playing and compositions are sensitive as they are complex and… a diverse range of influences is more than apparent.” Keyboard Magazine
