The world first learned of the incredible vocal artistry of
CÉCILE MCLORIN SALVANT when she won the prestigious
2010 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. In
just under the span of a decade she has evolved from a
darling of jazz critics and fans, to a multi-Grammy® Award
winner, to a prescient and fearless voice in music today.
"An artist with so fresh a point of
view that her singing amounts to a
kind of re-writing." - The Nation
She has won the Grammy®Award for Best Jazz Vocalist for
her past three consecutive albums, including her newest
release, The Window, an album of duets with the pianist
Sullivan Fortner which explores and extends the tradition
of the piano-vocal duo and its expressive possibilities. With
just Fortner’s deft accompaniment to support McLorin
Salvant, the two are free to improvise and rhapsodize, to
play freely with time,"...an
harmony,
melody,
andfresh
phrasing.
