“The reigning jazz vocalist of her generation is an intellectual virtuoso, an examiner of songs rather than simply an inhabitant of them.”
— The New York Times
Cécile McLorin Salvant’s Ghost Song tops the list of the Best Jazz Albums of 2022 in The New York Times, Slate, and JazzWise!
In just under a decade, Cécile McLorin Salvant has emerged as one of the most prescient and fearless voices in music today, evolving from a competition winner and favorite of jazz critics, to a three-time Grammy Award winner and MacArthur fellow. Her recording The Window topped best of the year lists everywhere from Jazzwise magazine and Rolling Stone to the NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll and The New York Times and her latest recording Ghost Song has followed a similar path. Be there for her triumphant return to the DACAMERA stage, where she debuted early in her career in 2014.
