Elegant Evening With A Classy Lady
by ConcertCrazy13 on 4/7/15Carolina Theatre - DurhamIt was everything and more than I thought it would be, and I wasn't surprised. ( How could it not be?) We are talking Cassandra Wilson, glorious , gorgeous and glamorous...Cassandra Wilson. What a talent, what a show, what a woman! I had high expectations and they were all met! From start to finish the show was one wonderful moment after another. First off was a fabulous back up band loaded with talent and a excellent grasp of the material. Then there was Cassandra's matchless, expressive alto voice like the cream in a cup of coffee. This was an evening of Billie Holiday covers that was a tour de force of jazz, blues, and a touch of folk of the highest quality. The numbers came one after another, a seamless playlist of the best of the best! Brava Cassandra, you are up there with the finest, it was an evening I will not soon forget. Thank you, I was thrilled!
