Lyric jazz in the tradition of understatement.
Pianist Sultan Stevenson is a rising star in the contemporary London jazz scene. It’s no surprise, as he deeply touches listeners with his humble and reserved manner, distilling his effervescent creativity to bring the radiant essence of his creative force to bear. His keen sensitivity to breathing melodies, his mindful use of silence and the subtle, dense harmonies allow Stevenson to blossom with quiet intensity and gentle groove, right from the first note. Every now and then, Stevenson releases some well-dosed energy with dynamic chords and captivates the audience with a multifaceted, honest power. Stevenson’s sound is also infused with his African heritage and its diaspora, such as gospel, reggae, funk and hip-hop, giving his music even more depth, intensity and soul. His album “Faithful One”, released in spring 2022, launched the rapid rise of this wonderful young talent. His second album, “El Roi”, is set to be released in 2025 — something to look forward to!
