ONE NIGHT ONLY!  For the past decade, Sullivan Fortner has been stretching deep-rooted talents as a pianist, composer, band leader and uncompromising individualist. The GRAMMY Award-winning New Orleans native received international praise as both the keys player and producer for his collaborative work on "The Window" (Mack Avenue, 2018), alongside multi-GRAMMY winner, vocalist-composer Cecile McLorin Salvant. As a solo leader, he has released "Moments Preserved" (2018) and "Aria" (2015) to critical acclaim, and he’s only getting started. Now based in New York City, Fortner has earned recognition in multiple DownBeat Magazine Critics Poll categories, winning first place in Rising Star Piano and Rising Star Jazz Artist.  In addition to associations with such diverse voices as Wynton Marsalis, Paul Simon, Diane Reeves, Etienne Charles and John Scofield, Fortner’s frequent and longtime collaborators have included Ambrose Akinmusire, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Stefon Harris, Kassa Overall, Tivon Pennicott, Peter Bernstein, Nicholas Payton, Billy Hart, Gary Bartz, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Fred Hersch and the late Roy Hargrove. Recent collaborations include GRAMMY-nominated releases Dear Love (Empress Legacy) and Generations from leaders Jazzmeia Horn and The Baylor Project, as well as contributions over the past decade to records by Donald Harrison Jr. and Theo Croker.  Playing solo or leading an orchestra, Fortner engages harmony and rhythmic ideas through curiosity and clarity, crafting a style that it truly all his own. Within phrases, he finds universes, and listeners often hear how he’s moved by each note he explores. Coming up in New Orleans, Fortner began playing piano at age 7, following a storied lineage of improvisers, masters of time and every iteration of the blues.
