Cécile Mc Lorin Salvant at JAZZ IN MARCIAC

Aaron Diehl (piano), Paul Sikivie (double bass), Pete Van Nostrand (drums), Cécile McLorin Salvant (vocals); A first encounter with French-American singer Cécile McLorin Salvant is an awe-inspiring experience. Combining a powerful timbre and sense of rhythm with subtlety of interpretation, it's not surprising that she won the Thelonious Monk prize in 2010 and has garnered praise from Dee Dee Bridgewater, Al Jarreau and Diane Reeves. She sings contemporary jazz that acknowledges its debt to past masters, very much her own and yet with deep historical roots. Now she too is a part of this history. (61 min)
