In This Issue
- Cécile McLorin Salvant: Uncensored Reflections ║ By Suzanne Lorge
- Cécile McLorin Salvant sings of her fascination with the ephemeral things that elude our grasp throughout Ghost Song, her spectacular Nonesuch debut. From the album’s first vocal line, Salvant affirms the creative eclecticism that distinguishes her art.
- Immanuel Wilkins: Preaches the Word ║ By Ammar Kalia
- “My work is the intersection between spiritual practice and Black aesthetics,” alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins says. “The two symbols I draw from are John Coltrane and the Black Church.”
- The Education of Camille Thurman ║ By Allen Morrison
- Here’s a question: How many tenor saxophonists would feel comfortable stepping into John Coltrane’s shoes to perform his transcendent A Love Supreme with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Wynton Marsalis? A second question: How many of them are women?

- 2022 International Jazz Camp Guide
- Jazz camps will go forward in full force this summer. This prediction is based not on a guess, but on the plans, preparations and the sheer determination of the dozens upon dozens of jazz camps surveyed on the following pages for DownBeat’s annual jazz (and blues) camp guide.
- Blindfold Test: Bill McHenry ║ By Ted Panken
- Saxophonist Bill McHenry — whose big sound comes from studying everyone and imitating no one — is an idea man and inveterate melodist, as evidenced on his recent trio album Ben entrada la nit, his fifth recording for Barcelona-based Fresh Sound since 1997. A full- time Barcelona resident since 2016, he joined the faculty of Barcelona’s Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu the following year. McHenry consented to sit for a public Blindfold Test — his first — on the Liceu campus in early December before an enthusiastic student audience.
