The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is jetting across the country once again, leaving Southern Cal for Southern Florida to check out for the very first time tomorrow, jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. She will be performing selections from her latest album Ghost Song. Opening the evening is the Christian Sands Trio.
A child of Haitian/French heritage, Salvant returns home to wow the audience with her talents. She won the first prize in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2010, released her first album, Cécile, shortly thereafter. Her sophomore album, WomanChild, was nominated for a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album, and three of her albums For One to Love, Dreams and Daggers, and The Window have been awarded Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album. She has received a Macarthur Genius Grant and the Jazz Journalists Association’s Jazz Award for Female Vocalist of the Year in 2022.
The performance will take place in the center’s Knight Concert Hall located at 1300 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, 33132. If you have the time, inclination and opportunity to catch this Friday performance, I suggest you do not hesitate to grab a couple of tickets. This rare appearance by this international artist in her hometown is not to be missed.
The center’s number is 305-949-6722. If you want to get more information visit https://notoriousjazz.com/event/cecile-mclorin-salvant.
