At the age of 32, Cécile McLorin Salvant can already be added to the list of iconic jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. And yet she sounds anything but nostalgic. McLorin Salvant has an entirely unique sound. A beautiful voice with an impressive reach, with which she not only sings but also whispers, growls and exuberantly lets rip. As a born storyteller, she performs sparkling interpretations, both of famous jazz classics and of forgotten songs and chansons, which she imbues with a new, contemporary meaning. Her compositions set to her own lyrics are also very strong. None other than Wynton Marsalis said of her: ‘you only see a singer like Cécile once every two generations.’
