An Evening With Jimmie Herrod And Cédric Hanriot

Known the world over for his collaborations with Herbie Hancock, Terri Lyne Carrington, Robert Glasper, Donny McClaslin and other jazz greats, pianist and composer Cédric Hanriot invites "America's Got Talent" finalist Jimmie Herrod to the Baiser Salé stage for an evening.

Having first made a name for himself by winning the rare "Golden Buzzer" on "America's Got Talent", Jimmie, with his powerful voice and singular expressiveness, quickly made a name for himself by sharing the stage with Renee Fleming, Lalal Hathaway, Raul Midon, Brian Blade, Aoife O'Donovan and Vince Mendoz.

Pianist and sound designer on Dianne Reeves' "Beautiful Life" album, which won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2015, Cédric Hanriot is enjoying a string of successes. His latest album, "Time is Color", has received rave reviews (Le Monde, Blues and Soul Magazine, The Jazz Shows with Jamie Cullum, among others), and was quickly voted CHOC by Jazz Magazine, 5 stars by BBC Magazine, and ranked among the top ten albums of 2022 by UK magazine MOJO. This boy, who has been accompanying jazz masters for ten years now, has become one of them, an unclassifiable artist who searches for the right sounds and colors with delicate perseverance. His eclectic musical universe reflects the atypical trajectory of a self-taught musician who has built himself in his own time, and above all, in his own temporality. Cédric Hanriot is an inventive artist, inhabited by a richly embedded interior, who expresses himself with a blend of strength and finesse as rare as it is precious.
