About this product
Winner of Best Jazz Instrumental Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Sullivan Fortner's Souther Nights is now available on LP. In July 2023, Fortner returned to the Village Vanguard as a leader. Tasked with forming an all-star trio, Sullivan brought together the iconic bassist Peter Washington, celebrated for his lyrical depth and groove, and drummer Marcus Gilmore, whose innovative rhythms have redefined modern jazz. Despite their first-ever collaboration and limited rehearsal, the trio's chemistry was immediate, resulting in Southern Nights, a raw, unedited live recording that perfectly captures the energy of their Vanguard performances. InchNot only would this be the first time Peter and Marcus had ever met, but there was no time to rehearse. [...] With no isolation, no edits, and very few retakes, we managed to record 12 songs in four hours.Inch Featuring one of Fortner's original composition, pieces by Allen Toussaint and Consuela Lee, and a heartfelt tribute to his late mentor, Bill Lee, the album is an acoustic celebration of spontaneity and connection. On Southern Nights, Fortner celebrates the music of New Orleans that he holds so dear and continues to prove why he is one of the most celebrated jazz pianists of his generation, delivering music that is both timeless and deeply personal.

Three-time GRAMMY Award-winning pianist Sullivan Fortner returns with Leave That In There, a new trio album that finds him at a peak of his creativity and artistic ambition. Following the success of Southern Nights, which earned the 2025 GRAMMY Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Fortner delivers his most personal work to date. Recorded with his long-standing trio featuring bassist Tyrone Allen II and drummer Kayvon Gordon, Leave That In There draws together memories, family histories, and spiritual traditions that have shaped his artistic journey. Praised by Robert Glasper as Incha masterclass in history and a glimpse of the future,Inch the album reflects Fortner's unique ability to bridge tradition and innovation by expanding the possibilities of the piano trio through a bold combination of acoustic instrumentation, analog synthesizers, marimba, and Bàtá drumming. Leave That In There becomes a space of dialogue, memory, tension, humor, and invention. The result is a bold artistic statement from one of the defining pianists of his generation, an album that broadens the language of contemporary jazz while looking simultaneously to it's past and future.
