Cécile McLorin Salvant Quintet
Cécile McLorin Salvant, voice  - Sullivan Fortner, piano - Marvin Sewell, guitar - Keita Ogawa, drums - Paul Sikivie, bass

Lauréate de trois Grammy Awards®, Cécile McLorin Salvant est sans conteste la grande révélation du jazz vocal de ce début de siècle. Formée classiquement, bercée dans le jazz, le blues, le folk, inspirée par les comédies musicales, la chanteuse et compositrice fait montre, au fil de ses projets, d'une compréhension éclairée des standards et de la composition, tout en y apportant un sens théâtral qui décuple les possibilités de la performance live, se fondant dans le swing, se moulant aux ondes des ballades et transcendant les grands airs triés sur le volet.
Le jeu des timbres et des textures, les variations de puissance, la qualité exceptionnelle de l'articulation, l'humour, la sensualité profonde, l'étendue et le raffinement de l'expression, voilà autant d'éléments de cette réussite. Pour son nouvel opus (sur le label Nonesuch), Cécile McLorin Salvant explore ce qui nous hante : nos rendez-vous manqués, souvenirs persistants, romances disparues... « Ghost Song » fait parler nos fantômes dans un cycle de chansons intenses et personnelles. Les compositions originales très imagées de Salvant alternent avec des reprises radicales de thèmes de Kate Bush, Gregory Porter, Sting, Harold Arlen et Kurt Weill. Le tout servi avec l'aisance et l'aplomb qui révèlent instantanément le talent.

The winner of three Grammy Awards®, Cécile McLorin Salvant is without contest the greatest jazz vocal revelation in this start of the century. Having been given classical training and grown up with jazz, blues and folk, inspired by musical comedies, the singer and composer has shown, by way of her projects, an informed understanding of the classics and composition, while at the same time bringing a theatrical sense which vastly increases the possibilities of live performances, merging into swing, hugging the forms of ballads and going beyond the carefully selected grand tunes.
The interplay of tones and textures, the variations in power, the exceptional quality of her articulation, her humour and deep sensuality, the depth and refinement of her expression, these are the many factors of her success. For her new album (on the label Nonesuch), Cécile McLorin Salvant explores what haunts us: our missed opportunities, persistent memories, vanished romances... « Ghost Song » has our ghosts speaking in a series of intense and personal songs. Salvant’s original compositions, full of imagery, alternate with radical covers of themes by Kate Bush, Gregory Porter, Sting, Harold Arlen and Kurt Weill. All this served up with the ease and self-assurance which instantly reveal talent...
