## Resource

Jazz icon Cassandra Wilson, whose soulful contralto voice fused jazz with blues, folk, and R&B, has died at 70 in her Jackson, Mississippi home, surrounded by loved ones. A Grammy-winning artist and 2022 Jazz Master, she began her journey in her hometown, rose through coffeehouses and New Orleans, and became a genre-defying force with albums like “New Moon Daughter” and “Loverly.” Tributes poured in from peers like Jon Batiste, who praised her unmistakable tone and Mississippi roots, while her hometown mayor called her a global ambassador of the state’s musical soul. Her legacy lives on in every note that bridged generations and cultures. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
