The virtuoso pianist, best known for his work with Cécile McLorin Salvant, presents rare solo concerts of Thelonious Monk’s music as part of our annual Monk’s birthday celebration.
In only a few short years, the New Orleans native has risen from relative obscurity outside of the jazz cognoscenti to global recognition as a peerless virtuoso and stylist. Starting on piano at seven, Fortner was a well-established veteran by the time he passed through Oberlin Conservatory, and now, at 37, he is an award-winning bandleader, sideman, composer, and collaborator who has paired with a staggering list of notables including Paul Simon, Wynton Marsalis, Stefon Harris, Etienne Charles, Gary Bartz, Samara Joy, and Roy Hargrove.
