Widely regarded as the top Jazz singer of her generation (TIME magazine actually named her "America's Best Singer" in recent years), Grammywinner Cassandra Wilson has been praised as an innovator who has reinvented the art form and expanded its boundaries time and time again on such albums as Blue Light 'Til Dawn, New Moon Daughter, Traveling Miles, thunderbird and Loverly. The sultry, smokey-voiced chanteuse breaks new ground once again on her new album Silver Pony. A collection of live and studio recordings that highlight the creative prowess of a stellar band, the original idea behind Silver Pony was to use excerpts from the live shows as the genesis for further explorations in the studio. Blending the two environments leads to some truly inspirational moments and brand new songs evolve as the band in the studio continues to develop some of the same themes initiated in live performances from Warsaw, Seville, and Granada.

eOne Music is proud to announce the signing of multi-Grammy© winning jazz diva Cassandra Wilson. Ms. Wilson needs no introduction to a legion of fans who have been captivated by her eight albums for the Blue Note label during the course of almost two decades with that esteemed imprint. With a million Soundscan albums to her credit in the U.S., she s one of the very few jazz artists whose artistic influence and contributions have been matched by unqualified commercial success.



Creatively, Cassandra Wilson has never rested on her laurels, and her new album, Another Country, is no exception to the rule. Nine of the ten songs are composed by Ms. Wilson and/or her collaborating partner, guitarist-producer Fabrizio Sotti, with the tenth a very special arrangement by the duo of the classic aria, O Sole Mio. Recorded in Florence, Italy, the entire sound of the album is intimate, guitar-driven, and lushly romantic. Launched by the lead single, Red Guitar, Another Country is poised to invigorate Cassandras intensely loyal fan base as well as greet new audiences.

12 blusey tracks. BMG Club version.

Long considered one of the finest singers in the jazz world, Cassandra Wilson's new album is a tour de force of emotion, technique, interpretation and style as she brings her considerable powers to this collection of classic songs. Once again she has gathered a band of shining talent, featuring the brilliant Jason Moran on Piano with guitarist Marvin Sewell and Lonnie Plaxico on bass - a band that is so good together that Cassandra was happy to sit in the producer's chair and let the songs speak for themselves. Featuring incredible interpretations of the classics like Black Orpheus, Caravan, and The Very Thought of You, Cassandra is one of the few singers that can genuinely re-invent a song that we all think we know, such as Wouldn't It Be Loverly and turn it breathe new emotional life into it. However, the standout track has to be the stunning funky, soulful, brooding St. James Infirmary which has become a staple of her live set

Singer Cassandra Wilson is a master interpreter of American music. With her unmistakable honeyed husky voice and quaintly rustic aesthetic she has made intimate and personal statments with jazz, blues, R&B, country, and pop chestnuts- few artists can reveal the sensual earthiness of the Monkees tune "The Last Train to Clarksville."

Closer to You: The Pop Side celebrates the finest pop moments from her seven album, decade plus legacy with Blue Note. In addition to the aforementioned 1960s nugget, this release features her stark and achingly vulnerable take on U2's "Love Is Blindness" as well as her transcendent take on Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" that evokes fireflies and shooting stars. Among its 11 tracks are favorites from Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and a tenderly romantic version of Sting's "Fragile".

Belly of The Sun, her fourth release for Blue Note Records, is the classic Cassandra Wilson journey, where borders and boundaries are sometimes pushed, sometimes expanded, sometimes eliminated but always discounted as limitations. Embracing Blues, African, Jazz, R&B, Brazilian and pop sensibilities, Belly of the Sun, is an invitation into the many sounds that have filtered through the musical landscape of the South. Featuring both original material and startling interpretations of material by other songwriters such as The Band, Bob Dylan and Robert Johnson, Belly of The Sun is full of the power of Cassandra's Mississippi roots and the roots of American music.

With A Series Of Terrific Albums, Cassandra Wilson Has Established Herself As One Of The Day'S Great Vocalists And, In Branching Out From Jazz Into Blues And Folk And Pop, Paved The Way For Genre-Crossing Stars Including Norah Jones. But The Mississippi Native Has Rarely Sounded As Relaxed Or Winning As She Does On "Thunderbird," Which Teams Her With The Stalwart O Brother Where Art Thou? Producer T Bone Burnett. Recorded Mostly In Los Angeles, The Album Is Noteworthy Not Only For Its Roomy, Atmospheric Sound And Experimental Touches, But Also For Its Improvised-In-The-Studio Approach. Working With Innovative Burnett Regulars Including Keyboardist (And Co-Producer) Keefus Ciancia, Guitarist Marc Ribot, And Drumming Legend Jim Keltner, Wilson Delivers Such Offbeat Delights As "Going To Mexico," A Dreamlike, Funk-Tinged Tune Built On A Sample Of "Hey Pocky A-Way" By New Orleans' Wild Tchoupitoulas. Eschewing The Well-Known Pop Tunes She Usually Covers, She Lends Her Huskily Seductive Vocals To Jakob Dylan'S Wistful "Closer To You" And Burnett'S Dark "Strike A Match," To Which She Claimed Co-Ownership By Changing The Time Signature And Adding A Lyric. The Inspired Contributors Also Include Programmer And Bassist Mike Elizondo (Producer Of Fiona Apple'S "Extraordinary Machine") And Guitarist Colin Linden, Who Wails On A Gripping Extended Reading Of Blind Lemon Jefferson'S "Easy Rider" And Duets With Wilson On The Cowboy Classic "Red River Valley," Which Eloquently Sums Up Her Ability To Breathe Jazz Meaning Into Anything She Chooses. --Lloyd Sachs
