"Jazz trumpeter Jeff Lofton, a regular fixture at The Belmont on W. 6th St.
and the Elephant Room on Congress, has tremendous respect
and admiration for all the jazz greats who’ve helped shape American music.
... Lofton will play today with one of those legendary artists, who first began
performing in the 1950’s and still performs today. Jazz and R&B singer
Donna Hightower will join the Jeff Lofton Quartet for a
Juneteenth African American Tribute show at the Central Market..."

Austinist Show Preview,
Jeff Lofton Quartet Jazz Brunch :
...Lofton's brand of jazz is in the Davis/Gillespie/Coltrane vein, sultry and
sensual as a summer afternoon.

Since relocating to Austin last year, Lofton's had a good run of it, playing to standing-room only crowds
at the Elephant Room, gaining notoriety in the local scene in part for last year's well-received Miles
Davis tribute, All Miles 1950's, which he and the Jeff Lofton Quintet brought first to the Victory Grill
and then the Elephant Room..." Austinist.com
