More on Cecile McLorin Salvant

I posted earlier the news that Cecile McLorin Salvant had won the prestigious Thelonious Monk vocal award at Kennedy Center, Washington D.C. well, here are her winning performances plus a clip from Whitley Bay Jazz Festival all on the NPR Music site.

As well as the music there is an insightful dissertation on the art of singing jazz entitled Singing Simply is Really, Really Hard.
