“Her manager, Robert Torre, told New Jersey radio station WBGO that Wilson “transitioned peacefully at home, surrounded by family, close friends, and her manager,” but did not cite a cause of death.”
“So I don’t have a problem doing music that’s popular.”
““From Steve Coleman, I learned to tear a piece of music apart and get away from standard approaches,” Wilson told Time in 2001.”
“As a collaborator, Wilson recorded albums with Coleman, Greg Osby, and Wynton Marsalis.”
““I learned about cycles of rhythm, being able to hear cues in the rhythms instead of chords.”
“Before that, I had been only studying chords and standard A-A-B-A structured songs.”
“She released the final solo album of her career, Coming Forth by Day , in 2015.”
“She explored Miles Davis’ catalog on Traveling Miles (1999).”
“But after Steve, I was able to return to standard material whenever I wanted to and find so many other things to do that I couldn’t have imagined before.” She released her debut solo album, Point of View , in 1986, singing songs she wrote and co-wrote alongside renditions of Miles Davis’ “Blue in Green” and a song made popular by Billie Holiday, “I Wished on the Moon.” She explored what The Rolling Stone Jazz & Blues Album Guide described as “harmolodic jazz funk” on Jumpworld (1990) and deeper improvisation on She Who Weeps (1991), which includes a stirring rendition of “Body and Soul.” A turning point arrived when she sought an acoustic backdrop for her singing on her 1992 album, Blue Light ’til Dawn , her sparsely arranged Blue Note Records debut.”
“It was an homage to Billie Holiday, released on what would’ve been Holiday’s 100th birthday.”
“Her own 2010 album, Silver Pony , featured several notable guests including John Legend, Jon Batiste, and Ravi Coltrane.”
