Cassandra Wilson: Poet

Oh, how I love those low notes! Most vocalists reach into their upper register to grab the audiences attention, but Wilson has always been best when singing below the accompaniment, when blending in with the bass, guitar and drums. Poet has lots of those, you may have noticed. (Im still not sure what a distorted bass is they didnt have those when I was studying music.) The rhythm section is really just a soupy mixture, but the whole affair has that warm, humid feeling of a walk in a tropical forest at twilight. A very sensuous performance.
