Cécile McLorin Salvant

In co-production with the BASF cultural program, the Enjoy Jazz Festival 2024 presents the three Grammy Award-winning American jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant. For Der Spiegel she is the "heir to Billie Holiday" and for the New York Times simply "the best jazz singer of the last decade".

Cécile McLorin Salvant casts a spell over the audience - sometimes exuberant, the next moment sensually gentle. She shines live alongside stars such as Wynton Marsalis and Michael Bublé, on festival stages with her band or unamplified and a cappella. She is courageous and unpredictable, her singing almost achingly beautiful and blessed with a stunning and comprehensive understanding of how to combine the traditions of blues, jazz and folk with the attitude of hip hop and the passion and drama of her heroines Björk, Kate Bush and Bettie Smith. A truly exceptional talent.
