Southern Nights

Southern Nights is a live jazz album by Sullivan Fortner, recorded during his second weeklong residency as a bandleader at the Village Vanguard in July 2023.

The album features a trio with Peter Washington on bass and Marcus Gilmore on drums.

Despite their first-ever collaboration and limited rehearsal, the trio's chemistry was immediate, resulting in a raw, unedited live recording.

The album includes tunes by Allen Toussaint, Consuela Lee, and Fortner's original compositions, celebrating the music of New Orleans and showcasing the trio's spontaneous and connected performance.
