Cassandra Wilson is ostensibly a jazz singer, but more often than not crosses the creative line between folk, pop, and jazz. This collection of previously released tracks features Wilson on various jazz standards giving one a nice view of Wilson as simply a jazz vocalist. While this is in no way a "must have" for fans of the much lauded singer, it is a nice place for jazz aficionados to begin listening to this singular artist. ~ Matt Collar Recorded at A&R, New York, New York; Systems Two, Brooklyn, New York between December 1985 & August 1991. Originally released on JMT Records. Includes liner notes by Tom Terrell.
