Cassandra Wilson - Don't Explain (Performance Video)

Worked a gig w/ Cassandra, in Hartford, circa 1981, and we were very impressed, and thought she was extraordinary, and we're so happy she made it big. The experience was unforgettable, ....like her. The first song she sang was Duke's "In a Mellow Tone" and she did a unique scat chorus that I used in a jazz vocal class at Berklee later. Thank you for this wonderful post.

why this effect in your voice, Cassandra? U didn't need.

Great!!! Bravo!!!

Uma Inteligência

I WAS RAISED ON THE GREAT JAZZ SINGERS ..I THEREFORE FIND CASSANDRA WILSON ONLY FAIR

One of the most unique voices this century...lush and sultry...soulful...

She expresses of the pitch and melody of brown brush colored with autumn hues slowly moving towards its desired destiny. She's truly a jewel of African artistry. BEAUTIFUL SISTA SING

this song tenor is very flavorite.
what his name?
bravo brava

I'm so conflicted. I love her voice so so so much. But she's a VIGOROUS TRUMP supporter. That's hard to resolve.
But listen to this is wearing me down. I'm mad at you Cassandra.
But I forgive you. Mostly.

Amazing!!!!

Sound Great!
