Live Jazz in Tokyo: Cécile McLorin Salvant Quartet

After her sold-out performance at the Cotton Club last year, Cécile McLorin Salvant—a leading voice in contemporary jazz—returns to Blue Note Tokyo for the first time in seven years. A three-time Grammy Award winner for Best Jazz Vocal Album, she was also nominated in two categories at this year's Jazz Journalists Association Awards. Born in Miami to a Haitian father and a French mother, Cécile gained international recognition at age 21 after winning the Thelonious Monk Competition. For this Tokyo performance, she appears in a quartet with her longtime collaborator Sullivan Fortner, along with Yasushi Nakamura and Kyle Poole, both active members of the New York jazz scene.
