Long considered one of the finest singers in the jazz world, Cassandra Wilson's new album is a tour de force of emotion, technique, interpretation and style as she brings her considerable powers to this collection of classic songs. Once again she has gathered a band of shining talent, featuring the brilliant Jason Moran on piano with guitarist Marvin Sewell and Lonnie Plaxico on bass - a band that is so good together that Cassandra was happy to sit in the producer's chair and let the songs speak for themselves.
Featuring incredible interpretations of the classics like Black Orpheus, Caravan, and The Very Thought of You, Cassandra is one of the few singers that can genuinely re-invent a song that we all think we know, such as Wouldn't It Be Loverly, and breathe new emotional life into it.
However, the standout track has to be the stunning funky, soulful, brooding St. James Infirmary which has become a staple of her live set (she recently played to a sold out and heaving Jazz Cafe in London).
Class always tells in the end - and Cassandra is one classy lady!
"Wilson's smoky alto remains one of the most beguiling sounds in jazz and blues."
