Cassandra Wilson


For those Cassandra Wilson fans who live in the New York metropolitan area, Cassandra will be playing this summer at the Planting Fields Aboretum in Oyster Bay, Long Island. I have not heard the exact date but as soon as it becomes available I will post it.

Thanks Liguy. I just marked that on my calander for the summer months until I find out the exact dates. Do you have a favorite album?
I was going through my jazz vocal CD's recently, and pulled out several of Cassandra's albums. In listening again to her work, I find my opinion of her varies substantially from album to album. I loved her first album, disliked her second (Blue Light 'Til Dawn), and thought one her more recent outings was OK, but not great. I'd be interested in knowing, and Martice asked, how folks rate her various CD's.
The first time i heard her, she was on "Today" show singing "Tupelo Honey" WITHOUT the the irrating snare whacks that are on the CD. I purchased an older CD and thought it sucked.
