Cecile McLorin Salvant – The Window (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded live at Oktaven Audio in Mount Vernon, New York, "The Window" strips everything down to its barest, most intimate essentials. McLorin Salvant draws from a repertoire that spans Harold Arlen, Rodgers and Hart, and French chanson, demonstrating the deep historical fluency that sets her apart from her contemporaries. The result is the kind of late-night, close-quarters conversation between voice and piano that recalls the great duo recordings of Sarah Vaughan and Oscar Peterson.
Vinyl LP pressing. The world first learned of the incredible vocal artistry of Cécile McLorin Salvant when she won the prestigious 2010 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. In just under the span of a decade she has evolved from a darling of jazz critics and fans, to a multi-GRAMMYr Award winner and a prescient, fearless voice in music today. 'The Window', an album of duets with the pianist Sullivan Fortner, explores and extends the tradition of the piano-vocal duo and it's expressive possibilities. With just Fortner's deft accompaniment to support McLorin Salvant, the two are free to improvise and rhapsodize, to play freely with time, harmony, melody and phrasing.
