Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a highly personalized tribute to the legendary Miles Davis, Cassandra Wilson imaginatively reinterprets several of his classic compositions by adding her own original lyrics[cite: 1]. Her famously smoky, remarkably deep vocal register is perfectly supported by distinctly mellow, acoustic-leaning arrangements that subtly blend soul jazz with contemporary folk textures[cite: 1].
