...CASSANDRA WILSON NEW MOON DAUGHTER (Blue Note). With her knowing, nocturnal voice, Wilson is the queen of contemporary jazz vocalists and the true heir of Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan. Here she branches out, with remakes of songs by the likes of U2, Hank Williams, even the Monkees. She graces all of them--covers as well as spellbinding originals--with a classy Afrocentricity that shatters boundaries even as it breaks your heart...
...blunt, breathless way, Morris went around the room describing the assets of each member of the team. He called Doug Schoen, the intense and bespectacled pollster, a superb numbers man and a loyal friend. Hank Sheinkopf, a straight-talking New York consultant, was a "raw talent" who excelled at making emotional attack ads.

On her albums, swirling violins would blend with Floyd Cramer's tinkly piano and the unobtrusive harmonies of the Jordanaires. She recorded songs by the top country scribes (Hank Cochran, Willie Nelson, Don Gibson, Carl Perkins, Buck Owens, Mel Tillis), but she also covered Cole Porter's True Love; and Walkin' After Midnight was a Tin Pan Alley tune that had been written for pop songbird Kay Starr. The source of Cline's material hardly mattered. She made...
