In 1975 she began singing professionally, primarily folk and blues, working in various R&B and Top 20 cover version bands. She emerged as a jazz singer while studying with drummer Alvin Fielder and singing with the Black Arts Music Society in her hometown. In 1981 she moved to New Orleans and studied with saxophonist Earl Turbinton. In 1982 she relocated to New York at the suggestion of trumpeter Woody Shaw and began working with David Holland and Abbey Lincoln. In 1985 she guested on Steve Coleman 's Motherland Pulse and was asked by the JMT label to record her own albums. Her debut was Point Of View, which featured Coleman and guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly. New York's finest wanted to work with her. She sang with New Air, Henry Threadgill 's trio, and he returned the compliment by helping with arrangements on her second, more powerful album, Days Aweigh.   Her mix of smoky, knowing vocals and expansive, lush music that traveled between psychedelic and swing was transfixing. The more conservative American audience was won over by her record of standards, Blue Skies (1988), which was named jazz album of the year by Billboard magazine. The follow-up, the innovative sci-fi epic Jumpworld (1990), showed that Cassandra Wilson was not to be easily categorized: it included raps and funk as well as jazz and blues. This stylistic diversity was maintained on 1991's She Who Weeps. In the meantime, Wilson has continued to record on Steve Coleman's albums and has also made guest appearances with other musicians associated with Coleman's M-Base organization, such as Greg Osby and Robin Eubanks. Her latest recordings on Blue Note Records have exposed her to a much wider market. New Moon Daughter (a number 1 album in the USA jazz chart) featured songs by the Monkees, U2, Hank Williams, Son House and Neil Young." -- AG.com [Categories: CD | Music al Singer 1950s Collecting Collectible Classic Jazz Vocalist Blues Jazz Classical | ref: CD_CW_InHse]   Thanks for dropping by and please take the time to view our other sales, which include vintage prints, lithographs, heirloom collectibles, first edition books, glass & porcelain, as well as many other interesting and unusual collectibles.   Our goal at seaside*collectibles is to provide a first-rate product, excellent customer service and satisfaction.
