“I like songs that tell stories—songs that move you inward.” — Cassandra Wilson She grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, learned piano and guitar early on, and later became part of the M-Base collective in New York—an environment that pushed her toward new rhythmic and harmonic ideas. That foundation set the stage for the sound many of us know her for: the deep, earthy blend of jazz, blues, folk, and Americana.
