A native of New Orleans, Fortner grew up playing organ in his mom’s church choir. Still in his thirties, he has drawn national attention for his virtuosity as a piano player and composer.

He played with the late, great Roy Hargrove for seven years and has also played with Wynton Marsalis, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Diane Reeves, John Scofield, Peter Bernstein, Fred Hersch and Stefon Harris. He has recorded and produced three albums with jazz vocal sensation Cecile McLorin Salvant and is currently her musical director.
Accompanying Fortner for this New Mexico tour will be bassist Tyrone Allen and drummer Kayvon Gordon.
The Sullivan Fortner Trio will also be performing a New Mexico Jazz Festival event on Wednesday, September 27th at The Outpost Performance Space in Albuquerque, and a NMJF affiliated concert with the Taos Jazz Bebop Society on Friday, September 29th.
