Known for smoke-ring phrasing and an ability to abstract any song (check her beautiful cover of Van Morrison's "Tupelo Honey"), Wilson stretches jazz standards into new shapes here. Pianist Jason Moran cuts melodies into neat jigsaw pieces, while Wilson wears the tunes like familiar clothes. Accessorizing Ellington's "Caravan" with morning-sex murmurs, she stays impeccably cool even when things get hot.
