Singer and songwriter, Cécile McLorin Salvant has risen as one of the great voices of 21st-century vocal jazz. With her own unmistakable style, soprano Jessye Norman said of her that she possesses “a unique voice, sustained with full musical intelligence that illuminates every note she sings.” In addition to her undisputed quality as a singer, widely recognized —including three Grammy awards—, Cécile McLorin Salvant stands out for her passion for storytelling and finding ingenious connections between jazz, blues, French chanson, German cabaret, Renaissance song, and a wide range of genres and styles. As a creator, she skillfully interweaves highly popular themes with forgotten songs. Her personality is unique, as evident in her discography, with titles such as ‘For One To Love’ (2015), ‘Dreams and Daggers’ (2017), and ‘The Window’ (2018).
