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 in 1989 to French-Haitian parents in Miami, 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 dignified, modernizing approach to traditional jazz, blues and folk and her openness to musical experimentation. As a composer, arranger and storyteller, she constantly surprises listeners on her albums 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" and the legendary jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis praised the likeable artist effusively with the words: "A singer like her only comes along once or twice in a generation."
