Grammy-winning pianist Sullivan Fortner, one of the most original voices of his generation, pays tribute to the musical heritage of New Orleans on his album Southern Nights.

Recorded during his weekly residency at the legendary Village Vanguard in New York, the album captures the vibrant energy of spontaneous performance, full of joy, depth, and the city’s unique rhythm.

On his European tour, he is joined by bassist Tyrone Allen II and drummer Kayvon Gordon, both acclaimed for their virtuosity and deep jazz sensibility. With Southern Nights, nominated for a Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Fortner confirms his status as one of the leading voices in contemporary jazz.
