Cécile McLorin Salvant Live at Reel to Reel Studio Album Cover

Cécile McLorin Salvant

Sullivan Fortner

In the velvet hush of Reel to Reel Studio, the air crackles with the kind of intimacy only Cécile McLorin Salvant can conjure. Stripped of grand concert hall artifice, Salvant's storytelling takes center stage, her voice weaving through a masterclass of emotional precision.\n\nUnlike typical studio albums, this session captures the raw, unfiltered magic of a live performance. Alongside the telepathic accompaniment of Sullivan Fortner on piano, the duo transforms the room into a private sanctuary. The setlist is a daring tightrope walk: cherished jazz classics reimagined with mischievous wit, interspersed with "how-did-she-think-of-that" covers that defy genre. It isn't just a performance; it's a breathtakingly close encounter with the vanguard of modern jazz.

In the velvet hush of Reel to Reel Studio, the air crackles with the kind of intimacy only Cécile McLorin Salvant can conjure.
