PDX Jazz Presents: Cécile McLorin Salvant

PDX Jazz Member Presale: November 10, 10AM PST
General On Sale: November 14, 10AM PST

Three-time Grammy winner and recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” fellowship Cécile McLorin Salvant is one of the most distinctive voices in modern music—celebrated for her fearless storytelling, stunning vocal control, and ability to transcend genre. Known for visionary albums like Ghost Song and Mélusine, Salvant continually pushes the boundaries of jazz and composition, weaving together history, poetry, and imagination with unmatched depth and soul.

Her latest project, Oh Snap, reveals a new side of that brilliance. What began as a private experiment—songs she never intended to share—has become her most intimate and boundary-defying work yet. Blending jazz, folk, pop, and electronic textures, Salvant captures a raw, spontaneous energy that feels both playful and profound. Experience her live with PDX Jazz, where she brings this bold and personal new sound to the stage.
