This week we feature three new CD’s:
Wynton Marsalis, He and She (Blue Note, 2009)
Cassandra Wilson, Closer To You-The Pop Side (Blue Note, 2009)
The Very Best of Prestige Records (Prestige, 2009)

I am very impressed with the two new works from Blue Note. Wynton puts together a wonderful story about relationships—mixing his great music with some poetry that introduces us to each “story.” Cassandra Wilson’s new album of covers brings a new sound to some familiar music. Her voice is a wonderful instrument, and I a can listen to this cd over and over again.

Finally, Prestige has put out a two-cd set of their best recordings. They seem to put something out like this every year, and each time I am amazed at the depth of the Prestige/Fantasy catalogue. Nothing but heavy hitters here, from Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Kenny Dorham, and others. You won’t be disappointed by any of the pieces on this collection. An excellent recording.
