Free Music Review: HOW LOVELY A WOMAN AND SUCH COMPING
Hit: 4 Stars
simpatico . whoever selected the musicians for this date took great care . i purchased this session outright after hearing MS. WILSON'S work on STEVE COLEMAN'S "SINE DIE" . MULGREW MILLER is a tremendously inventive soloist with tasteful comping troughout . similarly LONNIE PLAXICO is a very solid and distinctive voice on bass . MS. CARRINGTON sounds as splendid as she ever has (contributing excellent work on a couple of tracks on JOHN SCOFIELD'S "FLAT OUT" within these several years) on drums . after the first two songs i knew i was hearing a true female vocal jazz interpreter of ELLA or SARAH'S ability , but of my generation . true , CASSANDRA would go on to make even greater recordings after this one . this is where she collected my heart though . what an exceptional woman and what a sensuous group . the transition from M-BASE collective to singular song-stress sure seemed effortless .
Blue Skies Poster
Cassandra Wilson has convincingly argued that all American popular music displays one fundamental aspect of the jazz tradition: a delight in taking songs--from the simplest to most profound--and recombining them into idiosyncratic form. That includes standards such as those she lolls into on this 1988 release--"Polka Dots and Moonbeams," "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," "My One and Only Love," and others. Underpinning these performances is an intriguing world-weariness, often of slightly sad (dare one say, postcoital) drowsiness. Wilson's sultry contralto augments that bold inflection, which impresses from the opening moments of the well-worn, usually more flirtatious "Shall We Dance." The straight-up support of Mulgrew Miller (piano), Lonnie Plaxico (bass), and Terri Lyne Carrington (drums) provides Wilson an unobtrusive foundation. --Peter MonaghanInternational Music CDs
