Jazz vocalist Cecile Mclorin Salvant comes to Wolf Trap on April 8
Salvant performs original songs and unique interpretations of obscure jazz and blues compositions
A quirky, sophisticated and soulful jazz vocalist, the New York Times has heralded 27-year-old Cecile McLorin Salvant as having the best chance of extending the lineage of the Big Three: Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald.
Salvant performs original songs and unique interpretations of obscure jazz and blues compositions in English, Spanish and her native French — as demonstrated on her 2016 Grammy-winning jazz vocal album For One To Love.
At the Barns, she’ll be accompanied by the increasingly in-demand, 31-year-old jazz piano virtuoso Aaron Diehl.
Saturday, April 8, at 8 p.m. The Barns at Wolf Trap, 1635 Trap Road, Vienna. Tickets are $35 TO $45. Call 877-WOLFTRAP or visit wolftrap.org.
