Sony Music Entertainment / Legacy Recordings has signed Grammy Award winning American vocalist Cassandra Wilson to the label. A musical homage to legendary jazz vocalist Billie Holiday on the 100th anniversary of the singer's birth, COMING FORTH BY DAY is Cassandra Wilson's moody, soulful showcase for contemporary yet timeless interpretations of standards associated with Lady Day. COMING FORTH BY DAY was produced by Nick Launay, known as Nick Cave's producer for the last decade among many other adventurous credits including our own Midnight Oil.

Wilson recorded COMING FORTH BY DAY in Los Angeles with an A-list musical team including producer Launay (Nick Cave, Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Arcade Fire), guitarists T Bone Burnett and Nick Zinner of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, string arranger Van Dyke Parks and rhythm section The Bad Seeds (drummer Thomas Wydler and bassist Martyn P. Casey) and logtime Cassandra collaborators Jon Cowherd on piano and Kevin Breit on Guitar. Cassandra penned Last Song (For Lester) imagined as a heartbreaking final message from Billie to her lover Lester Young
