About
Cassandra Wilson was born in Jackson, Mississippi. She is an American jazz musician, vocalist, songwriter, and record producer. Described by critic Gary Giddins as "a singer blessed with an unmistakable timbre and attack expanded the playing field" by incorporating blues, country, and folk music into her work, Wilson has won two Grammy Awards. She released her first recording as a leader Point of View in 1986. While these recordings established her as a serious musician, Wilson received her first broad critical acclaim for the album of standards recorded in the middle of this period, Blue Skies. Wilson's 1996 album New Moon Daughter won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. In 1997, she recorded and toured as a featured vocalist with Wynton Marsalis' Pulitzer Prize winning composition, Blood on the Fields.
