In this paper we estimate the $(L^p-L^2)$-norm of the complex harmonic projectors $\pi_{\ell\ell'}$, $1\le p\le 2$, uniformly with respect to the indexes $\ell,\ell'$. We provide sharp estimates both for the projectors $\pi_{\ell\ell'}$, when $\ell,\ell'$ belong to a proper angular sector in $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$, and for the projectors $\pi_{\ell 0}$ and $\pi_{0 \ell}$. The proof is based on an extension of a complex interpolation argument by C.~Sogge. In the appendix, we prove in a direct way the uniform boundedness of a particular zonal kernel in the $L^1$ norm on the unit sphere of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$.
