Product description
Cassandra Wilson - Sings Standards - CD
Amazon.com
Jazz fans who complain about not hearing enough jazz in Cassandra Wilson's eclectic sound, which has increasingly tilted toward pop and blues, will find ample rewards in this collection of her (relatively) straight-ahead efforts from the late '80s. Drawing from four albums for the JMT label, it charts her steady growth away from Brooklyn's electric, funk-based M-Base school and into an earthier, more personal approach. Going to school herself on Betty Carter's elastic time feel and unhurried rhythms, she avoids predictability on songs such as "'Round Midnight" and a wordless rendering of Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge." There's less interest in her handling of earlier standards such as "I'm Old Fashioned" and "Blue Skies," which lack depth, but never any lack of attractiveness. --Lloyd Sachs

- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021Her vocals, tone, improvisation, spot on....
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024After purchasing Coming Forth By Day and loving it, I wanted more from Cassandra Wilson and tried
this cd out. I could not recognize most of these standards as they are sung with a very Jazz style. Many
will find this inappropriate but I like to understand the music I play.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2011Standards are soulfully delivered with the sultry, melodic vocal stylings of Cassandra Wilson. Her renditions are bluesy, jazzy, and easy listenting. Very different from her earlier collections, which I truly enjoy and made me a fan, but, she delivers in a way only Cassandra Wilson can do.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013It is a good selection and she does justice to all. I am just getting to spend time with her. One needs time to get close to what she is about.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018Can't dislike anything she puts out. So inventive, so talented and a beautiful soul.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2015great
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2006For some reason I expected more from this CD. It doesn't particuarly stand out to me when I play it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Schöne Stimme
Diese CD gefällt mir sehr, werde eine weitere kaufen. Die Songs sind sehr
einfühlsam interpretiert und böeiben "hängen". Gerne wieder und wieder gehört

4.0 out of 5 stars These days, if i hear music that appeals I do something about it ..
These days, if i hear music that appeals I do something about it as I'm always listening out for new music - and this is new. I wouldn't describe myself as a true jazz enthusiast but this is sufficiently non-commercial for those who want something more challenging than mainstream jazz (for want of a better category description). Not at all disappointed with this experimental CD. Mrs D.B., Kent

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellente Sängerin
eine traumhaft virtuose Stimme, die berührt und unter die Haut geht. Bei Cassandra Wilson ist Musik immer ein Erlebnis. Es wird nie eintönig.
