Cassandra Wilson – Coming Forth By Day (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Cassandra Wilson has spent three decades building a catalog that treats jazz, blues, and American roots music as a single living tradition, and her singular voice, dark and unhurried, makes her one of the few contemporary singers who can genuinely inhabit Holiday's emotional world rather than simply imitate it. The album's title draws from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, framing Holiday's legacy not as nostalgia but as something ancient and unresolved.
An otherworldly musical homage to legendary jazz vocalist Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan on April 7, 1915) on the 100th anniversary of the singer's birth, Coming Forth By Day is Cassandra Wilson's moody, soulful new album showcase for contemporary yet timeless interpretations of standards associated with Lady Day. Coming Forth By Day was produced by Nick Launay, known as Nick Cave's producer for the last decade among many other adventurous credits.
