Another great singer that I have not heard before....from the present era... 21st century
Cécile McLorin Salvant (born August 28, 1989) is an American jazz vocalist. She was the winner of the first prize in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2010, releasing her first album, Cécile.
This work is an acoustic jazz with a piano trio of French jazz musicians, clarinet and tenor, and jazz guitar. Her songs are included in a little retro and spring-perfect little performance, and it is a very good work that takes up standards such as Cole Porter and Irvin Berlin, and the repertoire of Ella, Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith. A 21st century female singer who strongly feels the influence of the great jazz singers of yesteryear.
