Pre-Order: Cécile McLorin Salvant, Metropole Orkest & Jules Buckley - With Every Breath I Take (LP)

With Every Breath I Take is Cécile McLorin Salvant’s first with orchestra. It features The Netherlands’ Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley. Salvant and the ensemble perform timeless songs newly arranged by composer and bandleader Darcy James Argue.  Salvant, who has performed with orchestras regularly over the last decade-and-a-half and intended to make an album with one sooner in her career, but logistics and her abundant creative ideas led to other new projects intervening. Having finally found time to make this album, With Every Breath I Take is a different sort of record than it might have been even ten years ago. 

 “It is a rare opportunity to be able to make an album at this scale, which has been a dream of mine for many years,” Salvant says.
