Cecile McLorin Salvant STUNS Crowd In Airport

[@bcmcc1340]

The fact that she is singing perfectly _while sitting on the floor!_ She constantly proves how amazing she is.

[@Maziusklein]

You can sing while sitting in the floor too.

[@carlosdossantos917]

(Yes, but not perfectly)

[@bcmcc1340]

@@carlosdossantos917 Can you do better?

[@carlosdossantos917]

I was replying to the comment about anyone can sit on the floor and sing ...to which I replied and implied, Technically yes... anyone can sing on the floor but not perfectly. Perhaps you misunderstood my comment.

[@Maziusklein]

@@carlosdossantos917 muy point is that anyone who sings well, sings well while sitting. You lose a bit of control of the abdominals, true, but not what makes her phenomenal

[@simonl.6338]

Cecile is the most inspiring contemporary jazz artist, without question.

[@FOOMRADIO]

Most of the onlookers are clueless to the greatness that is before them! Love has me here again!

[@thorfriis6284]

Not your average busking duo. Such a fine voice and let's not overlook the superb performance on the upright piano too.

[@helgar791]

Mercy my heart. I'm in tears. This beautiful woman. This beautiful, creative voice. This is how musical magic happens. Our new Queen Of Jazz. Long may she reign.

[@christophermi2860]

Man I can’t even sing properly standing, and here she is killing it while sitting on the damn floor!

[@tajuanrandolph9819]

christopher mi ...and back perfectly straight...WHAT?! 😮

[@JazzFlop212]

The first time I heard her, I was astounded that there was such a clear recording of young Sarah Vaughan. I don’t think there is a higher compliment than that. Cecil is a phenomenal talent and I pray I get to see her sing live some day.

[@gjudd]

sure hope your prayers have been answered. Having had that immense pleasure several times now, I can die fulfilled 😉. Just a bonus she happened to sing a wonderful, aptly chosen Fran Landesmann standard here. BTW, her latest recording is... well, you can probably guess how stirring it is. A truly astounding talent. Oh, & Aaron Diehl - and Lawrence Leathers (RIP) - neither chopped liver!

[@toyiahm]

I'm so incredibly jealous of this audience!

[@quz908]

Words can't express how flawless she is. She is ear candy.

[@FOOMRADIO]

Moved to tears...Cecile and Aaron never disappoint. I love them both!

[@patrickburden5416]

I cry every time

[@patrickburden5416]

I cry every time

[@traceybrown1840]

Oh to be young, gifted & black. Amazing, absolutely brilliant!

[@RevengeofPomPom]

IDK why, but every time I watch this video I end up with tears streaming down my face. I guess I just find it so touching that Cecile and Aaron would so generously share their amazing gifts like this. What beautiful generosity.

[@FOOMRADIO]

RevengeofPomPom I come here far more often than I would openly admit!

[@ava_alami]

And most of the people couldn't even appreciate it

[@thelittledog2927]

imho, the most talented and the best jazz female singer of the young generation,accompanied by a brilliant jazz pianist.

[@gjudd]

it's a lucky time for fans of jazz vocalists - Samara Joy, Jazzmeia Horn, Brianna Thomas & several more hot on her incomparable heels....

[@sorchamccarrey]

is it weird that with all the amazing versions of this tune done by many jazz greats recorded in studios, concerts, etc. this one with a crowd of bleary ppl half paying attention and plenty of ambient noise including a loud alarm going off is nonetheless my favorite? cécile is just too good and her pianist here too, incredible

[@EmmaEryn]

i would absolutely SOB if i was in that airport. the TALENT

[@brianbillings6815]

RIP Lo Leathers. Nice video share.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

So very sad…

[@katew223]

She's the best! That's one lucky crowd to get a free concert.

[@cpmorgan5000]

what a beautiful display of creativity flowing freely

[@AustinCasey]

What a beautiful shot at 2:42. That boy saw something he'll never forget.

[@tajuanrandolph9819]

Austin Casey I'd like to imagine that b/c of Aaron and Cecile this is the defining moment of his life when he discovers that music is what he wants to do for the rest of his life. Then becomes a world renowned musician. 🎶

@@tajuanrandolph9819 same...hoping so!

[@juansketto]

@ what a story he'd tell of his beginning. T Clark I hope you are well. Stay safe.🌹

[@d0ntreply]

i would have immediately gone for an autograph and a selfie. what a privilege it must be to experience an intimate concert in a place as typically mundane and hectic as an airport.

[@scat4me]

One of the most difficult standards for anyone to sing. She nailed it

[@FOOMRADIO]

2021 finds me here again...Lawrence..Aaron..Paul and the lovely Cecile...never tire of this.

[@roxanakuehl2337]

MARRY HIM ALREADY IN FRANCE! This is IT! The BEST I have heard her EVER! Knocked it DEAD!

[@tajuanrandolph9819]

Roxana Kuehl RIGHT?!

[@wallomaie1752]

I woulda been standing there crying like I am now. And I have a rather large frame. Crying like a lil .... :)

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

Unphased by that alarm going off. "No biggie... I'll just carry on briskly with my tune." - I love that kind of spirit! Note that nobody is talking over her... THAT is the power to command a room even when you're not given the spotlight first. You can tell she's got a high octane voice given the fact that this is done while folded up and seated. This is my first exposure to this lady, but rest assured... it won't be my last.

[@FOOMRADIO]

Congrats on your second Grammy!

[@deansanchez8987]

Why cant i ever be in the same place where wonderful things happened such as this!

[@emilerose1424]

@Dean Sanchez, stay open, stay woke. It will happen.

[@blessedgirl4101]

Beautiful! I can't stop replaying it!

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

How sweet of Cecile to do this

[@anthonybrowell]

Knock out, absolutely, and what PIANOPLAYING!!!

[@hamaraholt8896]

That was just wonderful. Her voice has such a beautiful tone and clarity. I just love her.

[@katoppofu]

Such a beautiful talent a sound that is almost forgotten. I love this..

[@beebee_0136]

Five years on, and I keep coming back for more... Aaron Diehl (the pianist) has a way of transporting you to another world, his world. Cecil, still haven't figured how she pulls this off everytime, with the inflections in her voice. It's almost like she's singing and talking at the same time. The duo is a sight to behold. This recording was ostensibly made in heaven. Thanks to whomever captured this moment.

[@Victtoria]

Oh, wow, I've cried so much. 💗 Thanks for existing, girl 🌟

[@endangpratiwi7346]

Cool! Amazing....she is singing while sitting on the floor.... the pianist following her song; he is playing rubato I think. Both are talented

[@jefft022]

One of my favorite tunes that Ella did and Cecile nails it! What a beautiful way to spend time at the airport...

[@hymmj147]

I can't get through watching this without tears flowing at the beauty of it all.

[@bobbyburches8026]

Me too....me too. 😭

[@Pooquie1]

That voice and perfect accompaniment by the pianist...........damn! Thanks for sharing this.

[@bobbyburches8026]

I felt that to the core. Thank you for posting.

[@kevinb3812]

Blessed by a couple of modern greats! What a treat!!!

[@arlenecollier2011]

What an exquisite treat!!!! Wish I was there.... 'B-Loved', the stunning French song from 'Sylvie's Love' brought me here to this stunning talent.

[@YodaTheTeacher]

That was freakin' awesome! Wow! Brightened up my day.

[@sauffyw]

voix chaude et brillante, super découverte et grand talent. merci!

[@pimmetje]

In awe….

[@brockertteambrockert]

This has given me joy since Facebook. I love her voice and the keys. THIS is the truth!

[@Andartic]

[@issuesandtissues9280]

She's like Sarah Vaughn with a softer tone absolutely beautiful

[@DianeHoffmanJazz]

[@raffaelecardinetti7559]

A true professional singing beautifully with airport background noise.

Gurl got a big Voice!

[@dafonseca1971]

Oh boy that was beautiful!! Love Paris for it´s street Pianos everywhere. Does anybody knows the name of this song? Never heard before...

[@MITxTalks]

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

[@dafonseca1971]

Thanks a lot. Really nice song.

[@jaysonbiggs8979]

One of the few songs that became a standard written by a woman. Probably the most well-known written by a woman is Willow Weep For Me. Another version of this song is one by Jackie Ryan, Ella Fitzgerald and Barbara Streisand. All on you tube.

[@doligrace8338]

"Spring can Really Hang You Up the Most"

[@mem3769]

Jayson Biggs don't forget the brilliant Ms. Betty Carter who sang this so well.

[@nunyabeezwacks1408]

Why does this never happen when I'm at the airport?

[@mathewmcgill6266]

What is the name of that song? Is it one any of her albums? Her performance was truly phenomenal !!!

[@JazzGuitarForum]

Spring can really hung you up the most

[@philgranito4043]

Great upload Austin. Lawrence Leathers passed away recently.

[@FOOMRADIO]

Grieves my ❤️...you saw him briefly too ? 😪

[@DFNUVS]

OUTSTANDING RELAXING OSTENTATIOUS PERFORMANCE. WE NEED THIS NOW FOR EVERYONE IN THE WORLD -STAY CALM: PANDEMIC 12302020. 🖤💪🏽✅

Great job sis and bro :)

best thing about this video are the shorts.

[@ARELIPAMELA12]

Whats is the name of the song?

[@Sweetiesplanet]

umph, umph, umph!!!!!!!

[@mathewmcgill6266]

What is the name of that song? Is it on any of her albums?

[@isaacsurprenant1979]

The tune is "Spring can really hang you up the most". I don't believe she has it on an album.

[@rklionel]

Most in the queue seem to be immune to music.

[@coloraturaElise]

Fabulous! I had never heard this artist. (That piano should not be near the windows, though...not good for it.)

Sounds like Billie Holliday, without the pain.

[@Raven-ug8uw]

How beautiful but they didnt deserve her.

[@larrystaples1842]

The crowd is enraptured.....

[@vtrent1201]

Them lucky folks! A free CMS/Aaron Diehl show... At the airport, no less!

[@heloisemuhs3560]
