CRITIC’S PICK: Solidly swinging 21st century straight ahead jazz is on tap when the Sullivan Fortner Trio with Tyrone Allen on bass and Kayvon Gordon on drums plays Spivey Hall. As a virtuoso pianist, Fortner tickles the keys with power, deftness and grace. As a bandleader and composer, member of trumpeter Roy Hargrove's quintet and one-half of a phenomenal duet with Cécile McLorin Salvant (who crushed it at Spivey last year), the New Orleans native and two-time Grammy winner represents a major force in the music today. – Doug DeLoach

From the venue:

Known to Spivey Hall audiences as the brilliant collaborator with Cécile McLorin Salvant, Sullivan Fortner returns with his deep-rooted talents as a pianist, composer, band leader, and uncompromising individualist. The Grammy® Award-winning artist out of New Orleans received international praise as a key player and producer for his collaborative work on The Window, alongside Cécile McLorin Salvant. In 2024, Sullivan and Cécile delighted a sold-out crowd at Spivey Hall, and we look forward to exploring more of this talented artist’s work.
