Credentials & Affiliations
Louis Heriveaux has made waves in the Jazz world and continues to make them every week on the Atlanta Jazz scene. His long standing gig at Houston’s Restaurant in Buckhead, allows him the opportunity to build a following and show that he can command the piano in a mellow tone, just as magnificently as he can swing things in a grand venues such as Carnegie Hall. On Sundays, Louis can be heard playing for the guests at Georgia’s Juke Joint, in downtown Atlanta during their Sunday afternoon brunch. Whether he is lending his musical talents with David Potter and Friends, at ‘The Music of Miles,’ a fundraiser for WRFG 89.3, doing an exclusive interview for The City Café segment of All Things Considered, on NPR, during a recent engagement at The Velvet Note, or sitting in on a jam session at Churchill Grounds, it is highly likely that you will find Louis Heriveaux sitting behind the piano.
Louis holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music with a concentration in Jazz studies, from Georgia State University. Heriveaux has so much to offer the world of Jazz. He remains true to the authentic art form, while infusing his own personal style. Whether through a high level of delicacy when approaching ballads or a hard, effective swing, when the moment requires, the effect he has on his audience is captivating and full of surprises, rendering earful after earful of good, pure, real Jazz.
