NEA Jazz Masters: Cassandra Wilson (2022)

Cassandra Wilson has used her distinctive voice and fascinating arrangements of standards, in not just jazz, but blues, country, and folk as well, to create a body of work that has expanded the definition of jazz. She has recorded more than 20 releases as a leader and has been featured on recordings by musicians such as Terence Blanchard, Bill Frisell, Charlie Haden, Angelique Kidjo, and Luther Vandross, and earned critical acclaim for her performance on Wynton Marsalis' Pulitzer Prize-winning "Blood on the Fields" album.

It's been seven long years since Cassandra Wilson's last masterpiece, Coming Forth By Day. I hope that one day she'll release a successor and return to the UK to perform. Even if not, though, I'm grateful for the beauty and depth of all her music.

Great singer. I always love low female voices. She has that kind of voice and a unique approach on jazz music.

"Each individual has their own path. They have their own relationship with their creator. Develop that and everything else falls into place."
Well said, nothing is more realistic than That.
