Details: Amazon.ca Cassandra Wilson is a postmodern jazz singer, a conceptualist who sees no dividing lines between genres. If her career had commenced in the 1970s rather than the label-conscious 1990s she would have been marketed as a mainstream pop diva. Her magnificent voice and interpretive genius mark her as a jazz singer for the ages, however. She finds her material wherever her fancy takes her and remakes it in her own image, whether it be the country blues of Robert Johnson's "Come On in My Kitchen" and "Hellhound On My Trail", the soul of Ann Peebles' "I Can't Stand the Rain", the elegant R&B of Charles Brown's "Tell Me You'll Wait for Me", the melodic pop of Joni Mitchell's "Black Crow", and Van Morrison's "Tupelo Honey", or her own "Redbone"- -and the title track, accompanied by steel guitarist Gib Wharton. --John Swenson Product Description Wilson's landmark Blue Light 'Til Dawn was universally declared a masterpiece when released in 1994. Reunited with producer Craig Street, here Cassandra once again chooses some surprising cover tunes (U2 and the Monkees), as well as further defining her talent as a songwriter. Cassandra incorporates rock, country and blues in a cohesive original way that transcends what is usually considered jazz singing; she again succeeds beyond expectations with New Moon Daughter. Service to AAA, NAC and jazz radio.
