Lauded as one of the top jazz pianists of his generation, Sullivan Fortner is recognized for his virtuosic technique and captivating performances. The winner of three prestigious awards – a Leonore Annenberg Arts Fellowship, the 2015 Cole Porter Fellowship from the American Pianists Association, and the 2016 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists – Sullivan’s music embodies the essence of the blues and jazz as he connects music of all eras and genres through his improvisation.
Sullivan has performed on many of the world’s most prestigious stages including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Newport Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Discover Jazz Festival, Tri-C Jazz Festival, Jazz Standard, and the Gillmore Keyboard Festival. He has been heard with other leading musicians around the world including Dianne Reeves, Roy Hargrove, Wynton Marsalis, Paul Simon, John Scofield, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Fred Hersch, Sean Jones, DeeDee Bridgewater, Roberta Gambarini, Peter Bernstein, Stefon Harris, Nicholas Peyton, Billy Hart, Dave Liebman, Gary Bartz, Etienne Charles, and Christian Scott.
Sullivan brings the same sense of musicianship to his recordings as he does to his live performances. His first album, Aria (Impulse) garnered critical-acclaim by The New York Times and Downbeat Magazine showcasing his mastery at rendering well-chosen standards and composing memorable melodies.
Downbeat Magazine said of his 2018 trio album that, "Fortner’s ability to simultaneously project his own voice and reflect those of others reveals an empathy displayed throughout Moments Preserved (Impulse) in the agile interplay with both his trio—bassist Ameen Saleem and drummer Jeremy “Bean” Clemons--and guest trumpeter Roy Hargrove." The New Times said, “There’s evidence here of an artist with his own distinct style.”
Sullivan can also be heard on the recordings of Etienne Charles, Donald Harrison, Theo Croker, Roy Hargrove, and Cecile McLorin Salvant.
