Cassandra Wilson: Thunderbird
by C. Michael Bailey
Jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson reached the fulcrum of her career with the refreshingly organic Blue Light 'Til Dawn. Her releases before this 1993 Blue Note debut, including M-Base Collective collaborations in the 1980s, were warmly received if not completely inspired. With Blue Light, Wilson changed her creative paradigm, performing older and more eclectic music in a ...
Cassandra Wilson: Thunderbird
by Jim Santella
Cassandra Wilson sings blues the way they should be interpreted. For her latest album, she adds a little pop and hip-hop to the formula, reminding us that jazz and blues both started out as popular music of the day. Programmed drums and a mechanical rhythm appear side by side with Wilson's earthy vocals as she interprets ...
Cassandra Wilson: Thunderbird
by AAJ Italy Staff
A tre anni da Glamoured, a tredici dal capolavoro Blue Light 'Til Down, Cassandra Wilson sembra aver definitivamente preso confidenza con la scrittura più che con la reinterpretazione originale di classici.

Cassandra Wilson: She Who Weeps
by Celeste Sunderland
The timbre of Cassandra Wilson’s voice is like an opal—incomparably beautiful, deliciously pearlescent, graceful, rich, and eternally strong. On She Who Weeps, originally recorded in 1990 and rereleased last January, lyrics bare little importance. The descriptive quality of words takes a back seat to Wilson’s innate ability to instantly create an atmosphere and strike emotional chords ...

Cassandra Wilson: Glamoured
by Mike Perciaccante
Cassandra Wilson possesses one of the most recognizable voices in modern jazz. On Glamoured, she again delivers a wonderfully realized album with just the right mix of well-chosen, eclectic covers (Sting's “Fragile," Willie Nelson's “Crazy," Muddy Waters' “Honey Bee" and Bob Dylan's “Lay Lady Lay") and immensely catchy originals ("Heaven Knows" “On This Train," “I Want ...
