SULLIVAN FORTNER TRIO Takeda Theater at The Platform

Grammy-winning pianist and bandleader Sullivan Fortner leads a remarkable trio featuring Tyrone Allen and Kayvon Gordon, transforming harmony and rhythm into captivating explorations of sound. Drawing on his New Orleans roots, Fortner crafts music that is both deeply soulful and strikingly inventive, performed with what his mentor and fellow pianist Fred Hersch describes as “technique always in the service of expression, joy and humor, fearlessness and pianistic mastery.” Sponsored in part by the Ellis L.
