Cassandra Wilson

A Grammy-winning return to jazz standards recorded in a Mississippi home. Warm, honeyed vocals meet playful piano and polyrhythmic percussion.

It's like the Great American Songbook was rewritten during a humid Mississippi sunset.

A sophisticated yet earthy collection of standards that feels like a warm embrace.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the percussion shifts into a polyrhythmic dance on Caravan, turning the standard into a swampy groove.
The intimate, almost whispered delivery of the opening lines in Sleepin' Bee that feels like a secret shared.
Jason Moran's piano solo on Gone With the Wind, which balances avant-garde curiosity with traditional swing.
