A charismatic jazz lady and her boundless soundscapes
Over the past ten years, US artist and three-time Grammy winner Cécile McLorin Salvant has established herself as arguably the leading jazz singer of her generation. Born and raised in Miami to French-Haitian parents, she says she grew up listening to all kinds of music - Haitian folk, hip-hop, soul, classical, jazz, gospel and Cuban music. This unconstrained parallelism of different genres and styles explains her modernizing approach to traditional jazz, blues and folk and her openness to musical experimentation. As a composer, arranger and storyteller, she constantly surprises with new facets of her touching vocal artistry and finds a unique, specific expression for each song. So it's no wonder that the New York Times simply calls her "the best jazz singer of the last decade".
