Cecile McLorin Salvant & Sullivan Fortner

“Salvant, regularly and rightly, is considered one of the greatest jazz singers of her generation, but that label sells her short,” raves ROLLING STONE. “His fundamentals as a player could hardly be stronger, and his instincts as a composer and bandleader are almost startlingly mature,” states the NEW YORK TIMES.

3x-GRAMMY® Award-Winning and 5x-GRAMMY® Nominated Jazz Singer & Composer CÉCILE MCLORIN SALVANT, joins forces with GRAMMY® Award-Winning Pianist & Composer SULLIVAN FORTNER for an evening of unparalleled jazz excellence. Cécile McLorin Salvant won "Best Jazz Vocal Album" at the GRAMMY® Awards for 'For One to Love' (2016), 'Dream & Daggers' (2018), & 'The Window' (2019), while receiving Nominations in the same category for 'Woman Child' (2014) & 'Ghost Song' (2023). Her counterpart, Sullivan Fortner, was Nominated for his second GRAMMY® for "Best Arrangement Instrument & Vocals" for the song "Optimistic Voices / No Love No Dying" in 2023, in which Cécile sings lead vocals. They are an incredible duo! 'Ghost Song', Salvant's 2022 album, has received wide critical acclaim and received 2 GRAMMY® Nominations. Fortner has earned recognition in multiple Downbeat Critic's Poll categories, winning first place for "Rising Star Piano" and "Rising Star Jazz Artist".
