Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival 2012

Cécile McLorin Salvant Quartet

A jazz vocal phenomenon - she wowed with her freshness and her special spirit.

Cécile McLorin Salvant comes deep out of the jazz tradition, imbued in Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith, but able to sing and swing like Ella and Sarah and all the greats from the golden age of jazz - soul, sensitivity, style, and good old-fashioned narrative storytelling.

If you are a fan of great jazz singing try to catch her with her top trio led by New York pianist, Aaron Diehl.
