Day 59: Black Music Month - Cassandra Wilson
Cassandra Wilson is a jazz vocalist, musician, arranger, and producer.
She’s arguably the best jazz vocalist today. For nearly 30 years, this
two-time Grammy winner has mesmerized audiences with her moving, sultry,
rich, resonant voice. She inhabits
songs. With the slightest nuance or phrase, she can take you places
others can only dream of taking you. During her illustrious career,
Wilson has expounded upon the jazz songbook with her ingenious
interpretations of classic folk, pop, country, soul, and blues tunes.
Like the greats before her, she has a distinctive style and can make any
song her own. Wilson is a trailblazer that continues to transform and
push the boundaries of her talent and jazz music. Her most recent album
is the critically acclaimed “Another Country” (2012).
