Cecile Mclorin Salvant with Her Trio at Colony Theatre

About

Born and raised in Miami of a French mother and Haitian father, Salvant is on the cusp of stardom. Possessing a deep, velvety voice, rhythmic poise, and a sublime feel for the blues, she combines conservatory-honed technique acquired at the Darius Milhaud Conservatory in Aix-en-Provence, France with a beguiling gift for lyrical interpretation. In 2010, she won the Thelonious Monk competition. Cécile performs unique interpretations of unknown and scarcely recorded jazz and blues compositions.
Salvant stole the show at the Arscht Center in December when she appeared with Winton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
