Cassandra Wilson Vodou EP

• Words: Ron Nachmann
• Label: Spiritual Life

Two slabs, five tunes and a real revelation, as producer Joe Claussel hands in some serious African jams. The centerpiece is Wilson's 12-minute "Run The Voodoo Down," which Claussel slathers with dramatic guitar atmospheres and cranking percussion, but don't sleep on his smoothly Latin housed-up vision of "You Don't Know What Love Is" and three auxiliary percussion bits by London's Yoruba Jazz People.
