From the venue:

Cécile McLorin Salvant stands apart from the usual pack of jazz singers. While she draws her style from the raw expressions of vocal legends such as Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday, Salvant’s voice steps from the shadow of her influences. With “Wives and Lovers” from her latest album, For One to Love, she subverts jazz songbook tropes by indulging lines such as “Wives should always be lovers too/Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.” With dramatic wit, she breathes new life into stale traditions.
