Born in Miami to a French mother & Haitian father, McLorin Salvant blends the sounds & styles of modern jazz with a complete command of the classic blues & early American vocal tradition.
She draws on littleknown songs spanning centuries of American music that aren’t recognized as standards,but “should be, because they are so beautifully crafted.” On the album, Cecile’s repertoire ranges from the 19th century ballad 'John Henry', refreshed in a spirited up-to-date arrangement, to her own 21st century waltz 'Le Front Caché Sur Tes Genoux'. She is joined by a world-class band that shares her concern for creating jazz of today by drawing on vibrant traditions of the past.
