Live is a jazz album by American singer Cassandra Wilson, released in 1991. [5]
The Buffalo News review by Jeff Simon wrote, "Wilson's modal version of "Body and Soul" a la Betty Carter more than makes up for it by being as inventive and powerful as any you're likely to hear from jazz's postmodern generation." [2]
