The Window

Description

Cécile McLorin Salvant's dazzling talent is showcased throughout a refined piano/voice duo album. Awarded several Grammy Awards, including Best Jazz Album of the Year for her album "Dreams and Daggers" (2017), Cécile McLorin Salvant burst onto the international scene in 2010 when she won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. Particularly acclaimed by critics and the jazz press, she returns with a new duo album featuring exceptional pianist Sullivan Fortner, a rising star of jazz piano who follows in the footsteps of the greatest jazz pianists. Skillfully blending melodies, harmonies, and unique phrasing, "The Window" opens with Stevie Wonder's "Visions," continues with genre standards (Leonard Bernstein, Richard Rodgers...), and even offers two songs sung in French, including an original composition, "À Clef."
