Cécile McLorin Salvant is widely regarded as one of the most gifted jazz vocalists of her generation, and Dreams and Daggers, released in 2017 on Mack Avenue Records, stands as a stunning showcase of her remarkable range. Recorded both live at the legendary Village Vanguard in New York City and in a studio setting, the album captures Salvant's ability to channel the joy of Ella Fitzgerald and the melancholy of Billie Holiday — sometimes within the very same song.
Dreams and Daggers is an ambitious and deeply personal collection that balances beloved standards with original compositions, exploring love in all of its complexity and contradiction. Spanning 23 tracks, the album moves fluidly between small group jazz and classical chamber arrangements, featuring guest pianist Sullivan Fortner alongside her core trio, making it a richly layered listening experience that rewards repeated plays.
