I love how generous you guys (as well as all the greats you quoted here) are with your praise for this young musician. I'll definitely get his CD. Also Peter, let's hear some of this poetry of yours :-)
One of my favorite modern day pianists, got to see him at the Village Vanguard a couple months ago, and his rendition of Alfie has been playing nonstop recently.
Just want to add one thing about Sullivan F - i hear alot of Art Tatum in his playing. I never thought there would be a pianist at tatums level but here he is in a modern version. Unreal!😢
I went to school with Sullivan Fortner at Oberlin from 2006-2008 when he was a couple years older then me. Alot of us Serious Katz knew him before he went to New York.
Completely original is the easiest thing in the world... but also completely rooted, and really good, too?! That's a little rarer🤣. I haven't heard the album, so I'll change that. Thanks for the heads up (I knew who he is, obv, but hadn't heard Solo Game, AFAIK)

I'll have to check out more of his stuff!
I can’t think of a more pure and unassuming innovator than Sullivan! ❤

Been listening to this album a ton since Geoffrey Keezer posted that IG. Can't agree more, he's amazing.
I got to see Sullivan this Summer in Santa Fe. His stride work is out of this world.
Much obliged for an iconic show. Watching your expressions while listening and commenting to Sullivan is inspiring ;)
The audio tracks of Fred and Jason where a way for people that only stream now could have quasi-liner notes.
"Rooted and fresh", great description and great goal - thanks gentlemen!!
Peter hipping Sullivan to Herbie is crazy

What's up AM and PM. Always good seeing you. Happiest of holidays to everyone...⛄

He also studied with the amazing pianist Dan Wall at Oberlin ❤
I've heard him doing a lot of work with cecile mclorin salvant.
Yeah, these two click very well I'd say
Shout out to James Farber engineer/mix engineer., sound is fantastic.
I saw Sullivan with Roy Hargrove years ago
How ironic is it that I just literally received a sharper image catalog in my mailbox.😮
Sounds like Bach in Jazz, for me perhaps too mathematical. But I will give him a second chance tomorrow 🎶👋
Shut up bro. Go listen to bill Charlap and call it a day

I'll listen to the valse first (last track before the blurbs) because that's what I feel just now. Then I'll circle back around towards the beginning.
