Three-time GRAMMY Winner Cécile McLorin Salvant is the “the most successful female jazz singer to emerge since the turn of the millennium” (JazzTimes). Following her spellbinding 2022-23 Season performances focused on her latest Nonesuch album Mélusine, she brings music from her latest project.
Possessing a deep, velvety voice, rhythmic poise, and a sublime feel for the blues, Salvant combines conservatory-honed technique with a beguiling gift for lyrical interpretation — a singular, inimitable talent that won her the 2010 Thelonious Monk International Vocals Competition and drew the attention of early collaborators Jacky Terrasson and Wynton Marsalis.
Her 2013 American debut album, the GRAMMY-nominated WomanChild, was the first real opportunity for American audiences to hear why Salvant had become a European sensation, and since then, her profile has taken a meteoric course around the world. Never one to rest on past triumphs, Salvant is always exploring new realms of expression, from reinterpreted 1980s pop classics to symphonic music and her original song cycle Ogresse, making each SFJAZZ residency into a journey of unexpected delights.
With a repertoire that extends from forgotten Tin Pan Alley gems to her own cinematic compositions, Salvant brings theatrical intensity to every song she sings.
