Salvant won the Thelonius Monk competition in 2010.

Salvant wrote the story\, lyrics\, and music. It is arranged by Darcy James Argue for a thirteen-piece orchestra of multi-instrumentalists. Ogresse\, both a biomythography and an homage to the Erzulie (as painted by Gerard Fortune) and Sara Baartman\, explores fetishism\, hunger\, diaspora\, cycles of appropriation\, lies\, othering\, and ecology.
