About: Cecile McLorin Salvant

A three-time Grammy winner with a voice that spans nearly four octaves, Salvant draws on jazz standards, long-buried blues, baroque music and her own compositions - performing them with a storyteller's precision and wit. Her latest album With Every Breath I Take (June 2026) marks her first full orchestral recording.
