Widely regarded as the top Jazz singer of her generation (TIME magazine actually named her "America's Best Singer" in recent years), Grammy winner Cassandra Wilson has been praised as an innovator who has reinvented the art form and expanded its boundaries time and time again on such albums as Blue Light 'Til Dawn, New Moon Daughter, Traveling Miles, Thunderbird and Loverly. The sultry, smokey-voiced chanteuse breaks new ground once again on her new album Silver Pony. A collection of live and studio recordings that highlight the creative prowess of a stellar band, the original idea behind Silver Pony was to use excerpts from the live shows as the genesis for further explorations in the studio. Blending the two environments leads to some truly inspirational moments and brand new songs evolve as the band in the studio continues to develop some of the same themes initiated in live performances from Warsaw, Seville, and Granada.
