what are the best couple of cassandra wilson cd's

I have her complete catalog and they are all very good. Her earlier albums are more straight forward jazz vocals while the last 3 have been more middle of the road jazz. Her current album Belly of the Sun is somewhat of a departure with roots blues and jazz tinged. I think that 2 of her best albums are New Moon Daughter and Traveling Miles but I don't think you could go wrong with any of her catalog. Good luck.( By the way the vinyl is excellent)

New Moon Daughter and Traveling Miles are both superb.

I like New Moon Daughter and Blue Light til Dawn.

For something quite a bit more exotic and less processed try any of her LPs on the Japanese JMT label; some are recorded direct to analog 2 track tape and some use a purist digital recording approach, they sound much more natural than the rather manipulated later efforts. If CD is your bag try The Cassandra Wilson Songbook on Verve/JMT which is a compilation of these fabulous sessions.

Blue Moon Daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Traveling Miles

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
