DJA & Cécile McLorin Salvant with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band

The unique voice of three-time Grammy Award winner Cécile McLorin Salvant evokes thoughts of jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan; embodying glamour and innocence, delicate elegance and deep expression in equal measure. “There’s only one or two singers like her in every generation,” said Wynton Marsalis about her. Our composer in residence, Darcy James Argue, will arrange the music for this encounter with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band.
