Info zu WomanChild

On WomanChild, McLorin Salvant draws on songs spanning three centuries of American music. "I like to choose songs that are a little unknown or have been recorded very few times," McLorin Salvant notes. "While these songs aren't recognized as standards, many should be because they are so beautifully crafted."

On the album, her repertoire ranges from the 19th century ballad "John Henry," refreshed in a spirited up-to-date arrangement, to McLorin Salvant's own 21st century waltz "Le Front Cache? Sur Tes Genoux" which draws on a poem by Haitian writer Ida Salomon Faubert for its lyric. She is joined by a world class band who share her concern for creating jazz of today by drawing on vibrant traditions of the past: pianist Aaron Diehl and bassist Rodney Whitaker (both of whom are Mack Avenue label mates), guitarist James Chirillo and master drummer Herlin Riley.

On WomanChild, McLorin Salvant gives music lovers the chance to hear why the illustrious judges at the Monk Competition gave her top honors. McLorin Salvant is still a bit of a mystery, but she will hardly be a secret any longer.

"She has simply taken the best of the best and synthesized them into a sound that, at once girlish and gutsy, is uniquely her own. That singularity shines brightest toward the album’s conclusion, as she tiptoes through “Jitterbug Waltz” and transforms “What a Little Moonlight Can Do” into a swirling torrent of ecstasy. It is these tracks, together with the brief fire-and-brimstone closer, “Deep Dark Blue,” that truly validate Marsalis’ hyperbolic exaltation." (jazztimes.com)
