Cécile McLorin Salvant at ArtYard – Frenchtown, NJ

“You get a singer like this once in a generation or two.” — Wynton Marsalis

As a composer, singer, and visual artist, Cécile McLorin Salvant curates a journey of compelling narratives, unexpected twists, and humor. French and Haitian heritage influence her musical language and style, imbuing it with captivating rhythm and remarkable depth.

One of jazz’s most startlingly gifted vocalists and storytellers, among her most striking successes has been her musical partnership with the brilliant pianist Sullivan Fortner, a master improvisor and endlessly inventive artist in his own right. With every performance, they make a vast range of repertoire come alive in new ways — some breathtaking, others exceedingly subtle.
