Cecile McLorin Salvant - Dreams And Daggers

180-gram triple LP

Grammy Award-winning vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant has had a remarkable rise to stardom in her professional career, and she's taking another big leap forward with Dreams and Daggers, her third album for Mack Avenue Records.

Shortly after Salvant's emergence on the music scene, New York Times critic Stephen Holden stated, "As Cécile McLorin Salvant spun songs into a brilliant silk tapestry, I thought, if anyone can extend the lineage of the Big Three — Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Ella Fitzgerald — it is this 23-year-old virtuoso." Downbeat added emphasis to Holden's sentiment by awarding Cécile top position in an unprecedented four categories in its 2014 Annual Critics Poll. And Wynton Marsalis commented "you get a singer like this once in a generation or two."

With her 2016 Grammy Award winning album For One to Love, Cécile McLorin Salvant revealed that she is not just a sublime vocalist, but a supremely gifted storyteller and composer as well. Cécile is being embraced by music lovers at major festivals and clubs throughout the world. Her remarkable voice and striking ability to inhabit the emotional space and turn every song she performs into theater make her an artist of consequence to be celebrated and enjoyed.
