She Who Weeps

Cassandra Wilson

A smoky bridge between avant-garde jazz and deep blues. Wilson's heavy contralto anchors sparse, nocturnal arrangements that feel like a city at 3am.

Moments Worth Listening For

The shift into a more rhythmic, angular blues feel during the mid-section of New African Blues.
The way her voice seems to hang in the air, detached from the percussion, on Iconic Memories.
