Sullivan Fortner

Press quotes:

“An artist with his own distinct style” — The New York Times

“Fortner’s ability to simultaneously project his own voice and reflect those of others reveals an empathy.” – DownBeat Magazine

“His fundamentals as a player could hardly be stronger, and his instincts as a composer and bandleader are almost startlingly mature.” – New York Times

“Fortner beautifully, slowly and deliberately asks the eternal question of the essence of love — his notes dance, come to a halt and resume the twirls.” 

— OffBeat Magazine

“He is a spiritually thematic soul, alone in the studio he plays his concerns into the music. What we hear is a musician seeking safety in the studio, using every tool nearby to create a forcefield protecting him from a threatening environment and in this chamber, we hear a world emerge.”

— Jason Moran
