New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Cécile McLorin Salvant's concert at Salle Poirel in Nancy, France, for the Nancy Jazz Pulsations festival was broadcast live via ARTE tonight. She was joined for the performance by guitarist Marvin Sewell, bassist Paul Sikivie, and percussionist Keita Ogawa - all of whom perform on her Nonesuch debut album,
Ghost Song - and pianist
Glenn Zaleski. You can watch the set, which includes music from
Ghost Song and more, here:
Salvant contributed to BBC
Radio 4's program Kate Bush: The Power of Stranger Things presented by Ann Powers. She talks about Bush's song "
Wuthering Heights" and why she chose to record it as the opening track to
Ghost Song. You can hear the program here.
The New York Times calls
Ghost Song "her most revealing and rewarding album yet." Uncut says she is "one of the most daring and resourceful vocalists in jazz—or any other genre, for that matter." The Arts Desk exclaims: "The treasure trove of marvels that is
Ghost Song exceeds all expectations." You can pick up a copy and hear it here.
Salvant continues her tour of France, Belgium, and Spain through October then returns to the United States to tour in November. See below for all the currently announced show. For all the latest, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
