Three-time Grammy Award-winner, 2020 MacArthur Fellow, and Doris Duke Award honoree, Cécile McLorin Salvant is a fearless genre-blending composer, singer, and visual artist, who is “a unique voice supported by an intelligence and full-fledged musicality, which light up every note she sings” (Jesse Norman) and “that radiates authority and delivers a set with almost a dramatic arc” (The New York Times). Salvant and her trio deliver hidden gems that span jazz, vaudeville, blues, global folk traditions, theater, and baroque. Salvant is an eclectic curator, unearthing rarely recorded, forgotten songs with strong narratives, interesting power dynamics, unexpected twists, and humor. Joining McLorin Salvant in this performance are Glenn Zaleski (piano), Yasushi Nakamura (bass) and Kyle Poole (drums). Yale Undergraduate Jazz Collective launches the evening with an opening set.
