“Losito treats the Hammond B3 intellingently and with restraint without any lack of swing. A name to be reckon with” ~Lance/Bebop Ssoken
“As a practioner within the mainstream tradition, Losito speaks with a sense of clarity and a bell-like touch that makes his improvisations very appealing” ~Chris Hovan/ All About Jazz
“A Clearly secure player marked by sensitivity that comes from getting inside the tunes” ~Budd Kopman/ Cadence Magazine.
“Losito puts together ideas in a continuum devoid of clutter. His touch at the keyboard is firm, yet it has an elastic, even soft characteristic; his rhythmic sensibility accommodates a relaxed feeling in the midst of a stable core” ~David A. Orthmann/All About Jazz
“A musician of unquestioned technical gifts that will move you in many ways” ~pianist Pete Malinverni
