Blessed with a distinctive, flexible voice and genre-bending taste, Mississippi-born singer Cassandra Wilson is one of the best and most celebrated jazz singers of her generation. Influenced by the innovative styles of Betty Carter, Shirley Horn, and Nina Simone, Wilson emerged from Steve Coleman's M-Base Collective in the late '80s as a highly individualistic performer. Although she is an adept interpreter of the standards and blues-based jazz tradition, she's equally at home reinventing the songs of folk, pop, and country artists like Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Hank Williams, and the Beatles. It's an approach that has won her accolades, including Grammy Awards for 1995's New Moon Daughter and 2009's Loverly. Nonetheless, she remains deeply connected to her jazz roots, drawing upon influences such as Billie Holiday on her 2015 Lady Day tribute, Coming Forth by Day. Her virtuoso talents have also been utilized by her peers, including work with Dave Holland, the Roots, and Bill Frisell, as well as performing on Wynton Marsalis' Pulitzer Prize-winning Blood on the Fields. Along with her Grammy Awards, Wilson has also earned a Django d'Or, an Edison Music Award, and a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail.
