Part of Hancher’s 52nd Season

Part of Club Hancher

A vocalist for the ages keeps pushing jazz forward while a masterful improviser underscores the adventure.

Like jazz itself, Cécile McLorin Salvant is always exploring and charting new paths. A vocalist of startling gifts, she seems to unveil some new facet of her artistry with each project and collaboration. Her work with pianist and masterful improvisor Sullivan Fortner has resulted in an avid and adventuresome approach to a vast array of music. This is a can’t-miss opportunity to see one of the brightest stars in jazz shining in the intimate glow of Club Hancher.

“If anyone can extend the lineage of the Big Three—Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Ella Fitzgerald—it is this virtuoso …” — The New York Times

“[Fortner] does what all great artists, innovators, and true creators … do; they challenge themselves and rise well above said challenge.” — All About Jazz
