Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Her luscious alto has the depth and texture of a great tenor saxophonist, but Cassandra Wilson's defining asset is a postmodern song sense that enables her to surf through Son House, Neil Young, Johnny Mercer, Billie Holiday, and (gasp!) the Monkees in pursuit of strong songs that can provide that instrument with a canvas. Her second Blue Note album extends Wilson's seductive pilgrimage beyond the conventions of jazz repertoire and accompaniment, yet it's her instincts as a jazz singer that inform these brilliant readings. The settings again step away from traditional small group jazz (for starters, there's no piano) to evoke the emotional core of these songs. Anyone who can turn the Monkees' "Last Train to Clarksville" into a slow-burning erotic vignette deserves your attention. --Sam Sutherland Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Cassandra Wilson's Most Consistent And Her Best"New Moon Daughter" was released on Blue Note Records in 1996. It is in my opinion her best effort. She never sounded so dark and silky smooth. Most of the songs are very subtle and haunting. She has really done it on this album. For those who don't know who Cassandra Wilson, she is a jazz vocalist who has performed in a number groups over the years, her most experimental being M-Base Collective led by saxophonist Steve Coleman. I think this is where she got much of her experience dealing with different kinds of music besides jazz. "New Moon Daughter" finds her in very good company. Her band is remarkable and they are: Graham Haynes, Lawrence "Butch" Morris (coronet); Tony Cedras (accordion); Dougie Bowne ...

Who ARE the musicians on this recording? A singer is only as good as the band who backs her up. Rating: - dreamy, unexpected, every song a unique interpretationI own this and Glamoured, and love them both. Her covers of familiar songs always bring something new. What an eerie, moody, individual stylist. Rating: - "Love Is Blindness" Is Worth The Price Alone!!!!"Love Is Blindness", I love that moody song! I love the lyrics. I love the musicianship. Most of all I love Cassandra's haunting voice. This is my favorite song on "New Moon Daughter". "Blue Light Til Dawn" is Cassandra's most acclaimed CD but "New Moon Daugher" is equally as good. I love them both dearly but "New Moon Daughter" is still my favorite. The material on this CD is just so damn strong. Plus it's got "Love Is Blindness" on it. Like I said before, I LOVE that song! Rating: - WUL, YES-of course this is GREAT vibes herein and.......NEEDS to be in any decent collection anymore. 'Last Train...."? OUTRAGOUS!! boom da boomboom dee BOOM! Upstate New York,to boot,ey?Bearsville.Man- what a beautiful GIFT this woman posseses.WANT MORE PLEASE!!Her newest one is REALLY her best so far,imo.Gettum all!
