If there's a better jazz singer around right now than Cécile McLorin Salvant, I don't think anyone knows who she is.  This large-scale work of Salvant's own composition -- about an ogress, natch -- involves some top-notch collaborators:  Darcy James Argue arranging and conducting, and our old friends the Mivos Quartet and that fantastic vibraphonist Warren Wolf in the band.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Eat yourself into a stupor with only one sandwich at Pastrami Queen, a great New York deli that people tend to forget about.
