About:
We are very excited to welcome back pianist and composer Sultan Stevenson to the Vortex for this special performance, giving audiences a glimpse of the music that will feature in his upcoming album which is due for release in 2027.“His way of placing silences and making a simple four-note lick grow into something significant showed an incipient master at work.” – The Telegraph
Pianist Sultan Stevenson is one of the fastest emerging young artists on the London jazz scene and soon to be Europe. Sultan is the current BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artist for 2026 - 2028, an award that reflects the recognition of his enormous talent. Sultan is the winner of The UK Parliamentary Award for “Best Newcomer 2023”. To follow up, Sultan has been nominated for a Jazz FM Award 2025 in the category of Breakthrough Act of the Year.
As a teenager he has benefitted from the education of the Julian Joseph Jazz Academy and Tomorrow’s Warriors, following that, he graduated from The Guildhall School of Music in 2023.
However, he emerged on the scene in 2022, with a rapidly developing artistic voice. He started playing his own music alongside regular bandmates Jacob Gryn and Joel Waters. Jazz Re:freshed, The Jazz Cafe, The Vortex and The EFG London Jazz Festival are just some of the numerous places in which Sultan has wowed audiences. Sultan cites McCoy Tyner, Kenny Kirkland, Geri Allen and Ahmad Jamal as some of his biggest inspirations.
