Cécile McLorin Salvant European Tour

She has already spoiled the Philharmonie audience with her vocal range, her intensity when singing and her enormous expressiveness. During your visit to the RWE pavilion six years ago, for example. At that time she was still considered an up-and-coming talent. In the meantime, Cécile McLorin Salvant has long since arrived in the premier league of women’s jazz singing. With her coolness and elegance, with nonchalance and a beguiling, occasionally flashing melancholy, the Miami-born and raised American with roots in France and the Caribbean is reminiscent of unforgettable jazz divas like Billie Holiday or Sarah Vaughan, but without wanting to copy them. The multiple Grammy winner continues the legacy of the great jazz voices with her own focus.
