The Fading Light of Jazz Greats: Cassandra Wilson's Legacy The jazz world is mourning the loss of Cassandra Wilson, who passed away at 70.
Her remarkable career serves as a reminder that we are witnessing a slow fade of the greats who defined an era. Like many before her and those yet to come, Wilson's impact will linger long after she's gone.
