Autumn Nocturne - Cassandra Wilson

Rebecca Rebel

This is one of my absolute favorite albums. From the moment I bought it, I have remained hooked on all of the songs, not just because of Cassandra Wilson's exceptional singing & vocal qualities, but because of the arrangements, the accompaniment of her fellow musicians (Mulgrew Miller, piano; Lonnie Plaxico, acoustic bass; Terri Lye Carrington, drums), and the intense swing that characterizes the upbeat pieces. The tempo she takes on "I'm Old Fashioned," for example, is extraordinary, so much so that it is absolutely stupendous & jubilatory. Her rendition & the arrangement on "I didn't know what time it was" is just wonderful, too. These versions of both those tunes inspired me greatly & because of them, I added both songs to my repertoire as a vocal jazz apprentice in the 90s. Her voice & talent are just as admirable in rendering beauty & expressivity to the ballads, even if I personally prefer the hot swing. The only exception to that is this song, "Autumn Nocturne," which is rarely heard in vocal version. I love Sonny Rollins' exceptional instrumental version, of course, with the incredible solo sax intro, but it's a beautiful song to be sung. I have had continually renewed pleasure listening to this album, 'Blue Skies,' over the years & much pleasure singing the tunes.
