Best to start with her current blues-roots style
1993 Blue Light Til Dawn - Blue Note < 1999 Traveling Miles - Blue Note (more jazz and avant-garde funk; a tribute to Miles Davis) 2002 Belly of the Sun - Blue Note Then back to her MBASE funk style (very avant-garde) 1985 Point of View JMT 1987 Days Aweigh Winter 1989 Jumpworld (hard to find; very funky and science fictional-trippy; if you like TRC or the PARLIAMENT albums MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION, MOTOR BOOTY AFFAIR then this is perfect!) 
1992 Dance to the Drums Again or get her pure jazz work 1985 Songbook JMT 1988 Blue Skies ***** ***** You also might want to checkout Deborah Coleman. The sista is a blues guitar slinger. Truly the real deal. All her sides are great. 1995 Takin' a Stand - New Moon 1997 I Can't Lose - Blind Pig 
1998 Where Blue Begins - Blind Pig 2000 Soft Place to Fall - Blind Pig 2001 Livin' on Love - Blind Pig [This message was edited Wed Oct 16 12:04:28 PDT 2002 by PFunkjazz] test | |

I love Cassandra!
I only own Traveling Miles and New Moon Daughter (I think that those are the titles). After hearing "You Move Me" on the LOVEJONES soundtrack I had to run out and get more of her stuff...saw her live too...brilliant, classy lady...

Blue Light Til Dawn was the first one by Cassandra I bought. And yes, Jumpworld is VERY hard to find, I still haven't been able to track it down.
Love her version of the Monkees "Last Train To Clarksville"...  This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Cassandra Willson recorded When Doves Cry.
You can find the song on the CD "When Doves Cry"-The Music Of Prince. It was released around 1994 on the Metro Blue lable. She does a good job. | |
