ABOUT CÉCILE'S WORK
Cécile McLorin Salvant is a singer and composer bringing historical perspective, a renewed sense of drama, and an enlightened musical understanding to both jazz standards and her own original compositions. Classically trained and steeped in jazz, blues, folk, musical theater, cabaret, and vaudeville traditions, Salvant embraces a wide repertoire that broadens the possibilities of song as an art form.

Salvant’s nearly four-octave vocal range—from a bold, husky low register to clear high tones—animates her performances in a variety of configurations, from the spare duets for voice and piano featured on her album The Window (2018), to the instrumental trios on For One to Love (2015), to orchestral ensembles and her work with the all-female group Artemis. She locates her renditions of standards and new original compositions within a Black, feminist, global framework. In her fresh interpretations of lesser-known works, such as Josephine Baker’s “Si J’Étais Blanche” (If I Were White) and Bert Williams’s “Nobody,” Salvant demonstrates a deep psychological and emotional engagement with the lyrics, modulating her voice from sharp-edged wit to sorrow and heartbreak as she dissects the painful past in which these works were born. An as yet unrecorded piece, Ogresse (2018), is an ambitious long-form song cycle that showcases Salvant’s storytelling ability and theatricality. Salvant pairs her original lyrics for a cast of characters—all of which she sings—with an orchestral score that blends baroque elements with bluegrass and jazz. Based on oral fairy tales from the nineteenth century, the work centers around a female protagonist who falls in love but ultimately devours her lover, a narrative that explores the nature of power, freedom, and desire in a racialized, patriarchal world.

Through her wide-ranging choices in musical material and her manifold powers of expression, Salvant is reaffirming the timelessness of jazz as an art form and demonstrating its continuing cultural relevance in a fast-changing world.

关于塞西尔的作品
Cécile McLorin Salvant是一位歌手和作曲家,她为爵士乐标准和她自己的原创作品带来了历史视角、新的戏剧感和开明的音乐理解。萨尔文特接受过古典音乐的训练,浸润在爵士、蓝调、民谣、音乐剧、卡巴莱和杂耍的传统中,她接受了广泛的曲目,扩大了歌曲作为一种艺术形式的可能性。

萨尔文特近四个八度的音域--从大胆、沙哑的低音域到清晰的高音--使她在各种配置中的表演生动起来,从她的专辑《窗》(2018)中特色的声乐和钢琴的二重唱,到《为爱而生》(2015)中的器乐三重奏,到管弦乐合奏和她与全女性团体Artemis的合作。她将自己对标准曲目的演绎和新的原创作品放在一个黑人、女权主义和全球框架内。在她对鲜为人知的作品,如Josephine Baker的 "Si J'Étais Blanche"(如果我是白人)和Bert Williams的 "Nobody "的全新诠释中,Salvant展示了对歌词的深刻心理和情感投入,当她剖析这些作品诞生的痛苦过去时,她的声音从锋利的机智到悲伤和心碎。一首尚未录制的作品《Ogresse》(2018年)是一个雄心勃勃的长篇歌曲周期,展示了Salvant的讲故事能力和戏剧性。萨尔文特将她的原创歌词与她演唱的所有角色搭配在一起,并将巴洛克元素与蓝草和爵士乐融合在一起的管弦乐谱。该作品以十九世纪的口头童话故事为基础,围绕着一个陷入爱情但最终吞噬了她的爱人的女主角,这一叙述探讨了在一个种族化、父权制的世界中权力、自由和欲望的本质。

通过她对音乐材料的广泛选择和她多方面的表达能力,Salvant重申了爵士乐作为一种艺术形式的永恒性,并证明了它在一个快速变化的世界中持续的文化相关性。
