Funny like i fell in love with both Sullivan and Cécile in the same week (him with Peter Bernstein I think), then discovering them as musical partners, and sentimental ones too. Both amazing original artists, without a doubt my favourite contemporary singer and pianist ❤ separately and together
Excellent interview and great questions. Everything that Mr. Fortner says seems so obvious and clear, but of course that's because he's already worked out the answer for you - that's the kind of person he is - a deep thinker, thoughtful, respectful, consummately professsional. And to top it off he just seems like an incredibly interesting and vibrant person, and so authentic. Can't wait to see where his career takes him next.
I love listening to true artists speak. What honesty, charm, and levity on top of such great advice ❤.

How did you know they were together romantically ? (If its what you want to say with « sentimentally »)
@@juliavialette Sullivan mentioned it, I think in his interview by Emmet Cohen. I'm such a gossip :(

Beautiful comment 💛
Thank you for your comment. however, We never worked out Q & A. it' was all spontaneous interviews.

Stole the gig from who? It sounded like he said stole the gig from Sade, but that's not right.

A little Errol Garner-ry! 💗
could not catch who saved you life?
Dan Nimmer. Pianist for Wynton Marsalis
Nah, he said Dan Wall, who was Sullivan's professor at Oberlin
Love Sullivan’s playing! And love how sweet and open he is. Can’t wait to see where he goes with his music!
