Blue House Jazz – Cécile McLorin Salvant

The incredibly versatile artist opens this season's Blue House Jazz.

Singer, composer, and visual artist – the versatile Cécile McLorin Salvant has carved out her own niche that expands jazz beyond its conventional boundaries: in addition to jazz, she touches upon vaudeville, blues, folk, and baroque music.

It's an original and irresistible mix where the common denominator is the theatrical and powerful storytelling through text and music. She has been awarded numerous prizes and won several Grammy Awards. Her latest album was Mélusine (2023), where the Florida-born artist predominantly sings in French. Another example of her creativity is Ogresse – a 90-minute song cycle with her own lyrics, which she first performed in 2018 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Cécile McLorin Salvant has appeared at Konserthuset Stockholm several times since her debut in 2017. With her, she this time brings an experienced trio featuring pianist Sullivan Fortner, who also contributed to Salvant's Grammy-winning album The Window, bassist Yasushi Nakamura, known for his exquisite yet swinging bass playing, and on drums, Kyle Poole, who has made a splash on New York's jazz scene in recent years.

In cooperation with Stockholm Jazz Festival.
