Cécile McLorin Salvant: Mélusine
For Angela Davis, «she is, without a doubt, her generation’s most accomplished jazz vocalist.»
Grammy Awards-winning Cécile McLorin Salvant is also a masterful storyteller who likes to weave together legendary landscapes, ancient fairy-tales and contemporary narratives into compelling musical journeys. Ogresse explores the depths of feminine desire, between creativity and destruction, and demonstrates the incredible breadth of McLorin Salvant’s sources of inspiration, from her family’s Haitian roots to her original training as a classical singer.
