Click the play button to listen

This week on The Jazz Continuum, the spotlight turns to pianist and composer Sullivan Fortner, a dynamic presence in modern jazz. Known for his nuanced touch and bold improvisational voice, Fortner has made a mark through collaborations with vocalists Kurt Elling and Cecile McLorin Salvant, and through his acclaimed trio, solo, and duo recordings—including an intimate performance with bassist Rufus Reid. The program continues with groove-laden Hammond B3 tracks from Lou Donaldson, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and The Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, followed by hand-clapping selections from The Lewis Express, Ramsey Lewis, and rising vocalist—bassist Amy Gadiaga. New releases from artists including Kaisa's Machine, Sasha Berliner, and Sharel Cassity and much more will round out the set.
