Aside from being a multi-GRAMMY winning artist, Cécile McLorin Salvant is one of the most acclaimed singer/songwriters of her generation. Her 2018 album, The Window, founds her exploring and extending the tradition of the piano-vocal duo and its expressive possibilities with acclaimed pianist Sullivan Fortner.
