The singer Cécile McLorin Salvant is undoubtedly one of the most interesting jazz voices of our time. She combines elegance, coolness, melancholy and a breathtaking vocal versatility in a charismatic way. And easily follows in the footsteps of icons such as Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan. She has worked with some of the most important artists in the jazz world, including Wynton Marsalis, who said of her: “You get a singer like this once in a generation!” Her albums For One to Love, Dreams and Daggers and the duo album The Window, a collaboration with Sullivan Fortner, all won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

Sullivan Fortner is without doubt one of the most creative and enterprising pianists of his generation. His virtuoso pianistic skills are never an end in themselves; his seemingly never-ending wealth of ideas impresses critics and audiences alike. Over the past ten years, Fortner has developed his deep-rooted talents as a pianist, composer, bandleader and uncompromising individualist. His awards include the 2015 Cole Porter Fellowship from the American Pianists Association, the Leonore Annenberg Arts Fellowship, the 2016 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, and the prestigious 2020 Shifting Foundation Grant for the development of his artistic career.
