"Amid a remarkable series of recordings and live shows, she's created a unique vocal style and curatorial skills that make each new recording an event," NPR's Fresh Air host Terry Gross says of Cécile McLorin Salvant. "Her latest recording, With Every Breath I Take, is her most daring yet." "[A] spirit of inquiry is what makes McLorin Salvant special and without peer," says Fresh Air reviewer Martin Johnson. "[She] has amazing range and astonishing technique, but she employs them purely in the investigation of a song ... It's music with an extraordinary past and an amazing present."
