jazz singer Grammy Award winner M-Base Collective Mississippi music contralto vocals

Two-time Grammy Award-winning jazz singer, songwriter, and producer Cassandra Wilson has died at the age of 70. She passed away peacefully at her home in Jackson, Mississippi, surrounded by family, close friends, and her manager, Robert Torre, according to a statement released to the jazz radio station WBGO.

Wilson was widely celebrated for her distinctive, genre-bending contralto voice that seamlessly blended jazz with blues, folk, pop, R&B, and country. In 2001, Time magazine named her ‘America’s best singer.’ Her career was marked by significant achievements, including two Grammy wins for Best Jazz Vocal Album: for ‘New Moon Daughter’ in 1997 and ‘Loverly’ in 2009. She was also recognized as an NEA Jazz Master in 2022.

Born and raised in Jackson, Wilson’s musical journey began with piano and clarinet before she moved to New Orleans and eventually New York City. In New York, she became a prominent vocalist for Steve Coleman’s M-Base Collective. Throughout her career, she collaborated with numerous acclaimed artists, including Wynton Marsalis, Miles Davis, and The Roots. Musician Jon Batiste paid tribute to her, noting that her voice ‘sounded like the South’ and reflected her deep Mississippi heritage.
