SUMMARY:Cécile McLorin Salvant at TD Toronto Jazz Festival
DESCRIPTION:Cécile McLorin Salvant\nGrammy Award-winning vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant has had a remarkable rise to stardom in her professional career\, and she’s taking another big leap forward with Dreams and Daggers\, her third album for Mack Avenue Records. \nMcLorin Salvant first made waves in the jazz world when\, at the urging of her mother\, she entered the most prestigious jazz vocal competition in the world. Having nearly missed the submission deadline\, she made it to the finals as their youngest performer and was selected by an illustrious panel of judges – Dee Dee Bridgewater\, Dianne Reeves\, Kurt Elling\, Patti Austin\, and Al Jarreau – as the 2010 Thelonious Monk Competition winner. While she had bypassed the traditional U.S. conservatories and jazz schools\, McLorin Salvant studied at France’s Aix-en-Provence before returning for the competition’s semi-finals\, the judges noted her remarkable voice and striking ability to inhabit the emotional space of every song she heard and turn it into a compelling statement. \nIn 2013\, McLorin Salvant made her Mack Avenue Records debut with WomanChild\, garnering a GRAMMY® Award-nomination\, NPR Music’s pick for “Best Jazz Vocal Album of the Year\,” and three placements in DownBeat’s critic’s poll as “Jazz Album of the Year\,” “Top Female Vocalist\,” and “Best Female Jazz Up and Coming Artist of the Year\,” among many other accolades. Her 2015 follow up release\, For One To Love\, won the GRAMMY® Award for “Best Jazz Vocal Album.” \nMcLorin Salvant’s music has been featured in multiple Chanel “Chance” campaigns and is included in the soundtrack for HBO’s acclaimed film\, Bessie. New York Times Magazine included her recording of “Trolley Song” as one of “25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going\,” The New Yorker profiled her at age 27\, Vanity Fair featured her in their “Millennials That Are Shaking Up The Jazz World” piece\, Essence Magazine noted her as one of “13 Emerging Black Women in Music\,” and Gilles Peterson included her as an “Artist to Watch” in The Atlantic. Learn more about McLorin Salvant on NPR’s “All Things Considered” and “Fresh Air\,” New York Times’ “Close at Hand\,” or watch her perform on BBC’s “Later… with Jools Holland” and PBS’ “The Tavis Smiley Show.” \nSullivan Fortner\nLauded as one of the top jazz pianists of his generation\, Sullivan Fortner is recognized for his virtuosic technique and captivating performances. The winner of three prestigious awards – a Leonore Annenberg Arts Fellowship\, the 2015 Cole Porter Fellowship from the American Pianists Association\, and the 2016 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists – Sullivan’s music embodies the essence of the blues and jazz as he connects music of all eras and genres through his improvisation.

SUMMARY:JUDITH LANDER Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:Judith Lander is a consummate interpreter of cabaret’s finest offerings. Her repertoire ranges from pop to Broadway\, with the likes of Stephen Sondheim\, to classical cabaret including Kurt Weil and Jacques Brel\, with a sprinkling of jazz. \n“My music is very emotionally driven\, as well as musically driven\, because I have been a singer for 50 years\,” says the singer\, composer and actor. She has performed on Broadway and in other major North American cities in the original hit production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris\, culminating with a memorable performance with Brel himself at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall. \n“I have quite a background of music\, so it is about connecting and reaching the hearts of the audience. It’s very important to me to do that. There are a lot of singers these days who are imitations of imitations. They are not really connected as much to the musical lyrics as they should be\, and I feel audiences today really hunger for that\,” says the Winnipeg native who now lives in Oakville\, Ont. \n“Cabaret is an eclectic combination of music that is either political\, emotional or humorous\, and it is coming back because people are tired of the sterility that’s out there. Usually songs that have a personal bent have more emotional nutrition and people need that right now.” \nLander\, who is respected as a composer\, most notably for compositions for ballet\, including Diary\, which has been performed by the National Ballet of Canada\, the Hubbard Street Company of Chicago and the American Ballet Theater\, recently released an acclaimed recording of songs she has sung on stages across the world entitled “In My Life.” \nThe 65-year-old has made a remarkable comeback\, having retired from cabaret performance in her 50s. “What is amazing to me is that I’m in my 60s and I still sing really well\, and that\, to me\, is an amazing gift\,” Lander says. “If you are trained properly\, there’s no reason why you can’t maintain a lot of your voice\, but you will lose a certain amount of your range\, or it will shift. For me\, I go a little lower with my range\, but there were songs that I couldn’t have done before\, like September Song – but I was too young to do it – or Carousel by Brel that goes faster and faster and is quite mad at the end\, and when I was young\, it was extremely difficult to maintain the song. Now that I’m older\, I can handle it much better because of experience\, the [richer] interpretations and the power that I have at this age.”
