For the second of her Edinburgh International Festival performances, highly acclaimed jazz singer and composer Cécile McLorin Salvant brings her distinctive style and talent to the Usher Hall.
Salvant subverts jazz standards, incorporating blues, theatre, folk and storytelling into her performances. She has a remarkable vocal technique and on-stage persona. Her repertoire ranges from rich interpretations of familiar songs to rarely performed treasures.
