Usually when an artist wins back-to-back Grammy Awards for an album, he or she find themselves booking bigger and bigger venues. So how exciting is it that this year’s Grammy winner for Best Jazz Vocal, Cécile McLorin Salvant booked The Soraya in Northridge? What’s exciting is that instead of filling the hall for one performance, she is doing two intimate performances on the stage as part of the Onstage Sessions. Her performances will take place on April 18th and 19th. If you live in Orange County, she will be performing at the Barclay Theatre in Irvine on the 20th.
Last week I wrote about how I discovered Ms. Salvant when she opened for Bryan Ferry at the Hollywood Bowl. You can read about my admiration of this amazingly talented woman. For now, the best thing to do is just let you hear Cécile McLoran Salvant sing!
