Cécile McLorin Salvant "is now one of the essential figures in today's jazz," says ARTE, who filmed the singer in concert with her band at Leverkusen Jazz Festival in Germany last month. "Critics are full of praise for Cécile McLorin Salvant. Those who have already had the chance to see the triple Grammy Award winner in concert know that this praise is justified." You can see for yourself in the concert captured by ARTE and available here till September 5, 2025:

Cécile McLorin Salvant, named Female Vocalist of the Year in the DownBeat Critics Poll, continues her season-long Carnegie Hall Perspectives concert series with a duo set with pianist Sullivan Fortner in Zankel Hall in New York City this Friday and returns next spring for a full orchestra concert and her multimedia theatrical piece Ogresse.

Salvant’s latest album, Mélusine, is a mix of originals and interpretations of songs dating as far back as the 12th century, mostly sung in French along with Occitan, English, and Haitian Kreyòl. They tell the folk tale of Mélusine, a woman who turns into a half-snake each Saturday after a childhood curse by her mother. "Anyone who thinks they already know the full extent of Cécile McLorin Salvant's artistry should listen to Mélusine without further delay," exclaims Jazzwise. "It's a remarkable recording in several respects. Beautifully recorded, Salvant continues to confound and delight at every turn." You can get it and hear it here.
