Reveling in the connections between vaudeville, blues, jazz, baroque, and traditional folk music, singer and composer Cécile McLorin Salvant bridges the gap between our musical past and present. Featuring imaginative interpretations of standards and original works, “her live shows are absolutely electric, full of drama, invention, and commitment to the music” (BBC Radio 3).

Salvant won the Thelonious Monk competition in 2010. She has received three consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album for “The Window”,Dreams and Daggers”, and “For One To Love”, and was nominated for the award in 2014 for her album “WomanChild”.

In 2020, Salvant received the MacArthur Fellowship and the Doris Duke Artist Award. Nonesuch Records released “Ghost Song” in March 2022, and has since received two Grammy Nominations and appeared on several year-end best lists for 2022.

With roots in Miami and an educational background in French law and music in France, Salvant's latest project, Ogresse, is a genre-blending cantata poised to become an animated film. Her continued critical acclaim underscores her place as one of today's most compelling singers.

With three GRAMMYs® and a MacArthur 'Genius' Award to her name, Salvant has already far transcended her early status as her generation's most imaginative and thrilling jazz interpreter.” —Spin
