She is a twenty-seven-year-old singer named Cécile McLorin Salvant. This New Yorker Magazine article introduces her to those who might not know the name. Salvant, virtually unknown a few years ago, has built an avid following, winning a Grammy and several awards. Many are now singing this singer's praises. Wynton Marsalis has twice hired her to tour with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
