Pianist Sullivan Fortner, a 2024 Grammy Award winner and recipient of the 2026 Larry J. Bell Jazz Artist Award, makes his debut as a bandleader with his trio. He's previously appeared on our stages alongside Cécile McLorin Salvant and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. Expect deeply soulful and inventive music, marked by Fortner’s signature blend of technical brilliance, emotional depth, and boundless creativity—qualities that piano luminary and album producer Fred Hersch describes as “technique always in the service of expression, joy and humor, fearlessness and pianistic mastery.”

“His fundamentals as a player could hardly be stronger, and his instincts as a composer and bandleader are almost startlingly mature. ”
