Cassandra Wilson never fails to surprise and inspire. Sexy, honey-velvet vocals wrapped around her own jazzy blue compositions or inventive interpretations of others' material led Time magazine to name her "America's Best Singer" in recent years. On her new CD Thunderbird, which Blue Note Records will release on April 4, 2006, she has collaborated with red hot producer T Bone Burnett to surprise, yet again.

Recording information: Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California.
While many jazz singers chase the ghosts of yesteryear revisiting the same vocal standards again and again, Cassandra Wilson has chosen a different path. She retains her fluid, smoky, and sometimes throaty phrasing, but paints with a more expansive palette. THUNDERBIRD finds Wilson digging still deeper into American blues and folk traditions while producer T. Bone Burnett frames her voice with spacious production, highlighting acoustic and electric guitars, percussion, and judiciously sampled rhythms. The songs, a mix of originals and thoughtfully chosen covers--from the contemporary (Jacob Dylan's "Closer To You") to the ages-old ("Red River Valley")--are driven not so much by swing as by the innately compelling sway of Wilson's voice.

Producer: T-Bone Burnett; Keefus Ciancia

Professional Reviews
Down Beat (p.64)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Wilson's reading of 'Red River Valley' is riveting and smartly stripped to bare essentials....'Closer To You' is a nice pop ballad..."

JazzTimes (p.136)
- "The overall effect is like being submerged in a tribal elixir, emerging with emotions fully stirred....Enchanted."

Living Blues (p.42)
- "[H]er craftsmanship is impeccable and her commitment heartfelt....[Her voice] is the dusky-sweet instrument it's always been."

 
Bio
Cassandra Wilson

The voice is more visual than audible; shaded, iridescent, tangible, substantial. It seems to flow effortlessly.

Cassandra Wilson is a world renowned vocalist, songwriter and producer, with an extraordinary following, but at heart she is still a Mississippi girl whose art reflects her deep musical and cultural roots, anchored in the fertile Mississippi soil.
