Editorial Reviews
2010 album from the vocalist widely regarded as the top Jazz singer of her generation. 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.

This is a great followup to "Loverly". The concept is interesting and the band behind Cassandra is smokin. The stand out is Marvin Sewell whose guitar work is astounding and truly unique. It's a great listen all the way through.

Wilson's low, molasses tones roll slowly into your ears, enclosing your brain in a late summer's rain, as she breathes her way through another bayou-jazz, cocktail set of songs of regrets, wrongs, and quiet righteousness. This time around, she combines live tracks with studio tracks that were birthed live and groomed in the recording booths. Either way, the songs bend to the Wilson will, as she stretches, massages, and clips notes as she sees fit. Once again for Wilson, most work; a few don't. The sublime contralto purr of "If It's Magic," a fluttering "Blackbird," and the wistful "A Day in the Life of a Fool" far outclass the prolonged slide-blues of "Saddle Up My Pony," or the bent, detuned guitar figure of "St. James Infirmary." But do climb on; Silver Pony is definitely worth a ride.

In my opinion this is one of Cassandra Wilson better CDs. I love the bluesy feel of her music blended with jazz, the conga drums. Yes I love this CD, it is very special.

The Best Jazz You Can Get...in a teeny tiny disc
There is not a bad track on Cassandra Wilson's SP. I hope she wins many awards for this. If you love REAL jazz, you've got to get this CD.
