'Growing up in Miami as the child of a Haitian father and a French mother, singer
Cécile McLorin Salvant heard a wide range of music, including that of jazz singer
Sarah Vaughan. She first studied classical voice, but turned to jazz because it offered her more range. "In jazz, I felt I could sing these deep, husky lows," she tells
Fresh Air's Terry Gross. Her 2013 album,
WomanChild, was named one of the year's 10 best in the
2013 NPR Jazz Critics Poll; Her new record is
For One to Love.'
