“Wilson possesses endless talent and the courage
to go wherever it leads her.”
—Variety

Blessed with a bluesy, sultry, honey-tinged contralto, jazz diva Cassandra Wilson has a genius for making songs her own. Able to swing, improvise and draw listeners deep into a story, she makes magic of everything from The Monkees to Miles Davis. Touring in support of Glamoured, her CD to be released January 2004, Wilson will interpret songs from contemporary pop to Delta blues to the great American songbook. Time magazine billed Cassandra Wilson “America’s Best Singer,” asserting, “There is no more pure and uncontrived female force in our national music today.”
