Over the past decade, pianist Sullivan Fortner has developed a distinctive approach to jazz that combines his New Orleans heritage with the hard bop sounds of New York and a cosmopolitan flair born from years touring the world with luminaries like Roy Hargrove and Cécile McLorin Salvant. Fortner’s most recent release is a solo record that showcases the breadth of his artistry, featuring original compositions alongside classics by Stevie Wonder, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Kurt Weill, and Duke Ellington. Cal Performances audiences will recall his role as a sideman with Salvant at her January 2024 Zellerbach Hall concert, and with this performance he makes his Cal Performances debut as a bandleader with a hard swinging trio of like-minded talents.
