Product Details

Recorded in a single session that captures the spontaneity of a late-night club set, "The Window" strips away everything but voice and piano, placing McLorin Salvant's uncanny interpretive instincts at the center. Her repertoire choices have always been adventurous, pulling from pre-war blues, obscure standards, and French chanson, and this collection is no different, a reminder that her gift isn't just technique but the ability to make every lyric feel like a confession.

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.
