Cécile McLorin Salvant

Cécile McLorin Salvant is a jazz singer with a remarkable catalog comprised of originals and standards, as one would imagine, but covers of some left field pop or traditional folk songs that are somewhat unusual in the genre. Her music is always impeccably packaged and executed with a clear affinity towards the classic era of vocal jazz. She is an outstanding vocalist with a distinctive style, exceptional command, and a highly polished craft. She is widely regarded as a generational talent along the lines of Sarah Vaughhan or Ella Fitzgerald. Her 2023 album M​é​lusine is a collection of songs in French and Haitian Creole where she takes the opportunity to directly integrate her personal heritage into her music.
