Cassandra Wilson was born in Mississippi. I believe she started her recording career in New Orleans with a Latin jazz group called Jasmine. She moved to New York City in 1982, and soon became involved with the M-Base Collective.
After nine solo albums, Cassandra signed with Blue Note in 1993, and found immediate success with Blue Light Til Dawn. She has released another ten albums since then. Cassandra Wilson's next album will be titled Jupiter Rising. Hopefully it will be out soon, with some tour dates as well!

ReplyDeleteHello bro. Just heard Simon Wolstencroft interviewed by BBC's Adrian Goldberg. Good stuff. Latter has a podcast called Adrian Goldberg Talks to... or something like that. Manchester accent meets Birmingham accent :-)Regards J in Liverpool
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you, J! Hope all is well in the 'pool. Simon has some good stories about MES and The Fall. I haven't read his book ("You Can Drum But You Can't Hide") or the latest of many Fall related books ("Have A Bleedin Guess" by drummer Paul Hanley). Who knew drummers could read books, much less write them? To any drummers out there who HAVE learned to read: I'm only joking.
