A young jazz star with an old soul, Cécile McLorin Salvant is among the most exciting singers of her generation. Credited with carrying on the legacy of legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, she commands a prodigious array of talents: "perfect pitch and enunciation, a playful sense of humor, a rich and varied tonal palette, a supple sense of swing, exquisite taste in songs and phrasing, and a deep connection to lyrics" (The New York Times). Her repertoire includes familiar jazz standards, forgotten folk songs, and rare blues tunes, plus her own unique compositions.
