So even though African-American and Irish song traditions are far removed geographically and stylistically, the ardor with which Wilson and O Maonlai address them enables the singers to find common purpose.
It was an hour and fifteen minutes since the singer was due on stage and half an hour since the directors of concert promoter Serious had arrived in her stead – amidst boos and irate whistles – to tell us she was refusing to leave her hotel room.
A Saturday night show that started 15 minutes late ended only an hour later when Wilson abruptly left the stage at the end of “Good Morning Heartache,” part of her personal centennial tribute to the unforgettable Billie Holiday.
Like the historic singer, whose centennial arrives next month, Wilson always has valued substance over flash, depth of expression over technical ostentation.
Wilson is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking, near-million-selling album, Blue Light ’Til Dawn, where she first offered that glorious Morrison tune.
The Baltic states might be a long way behind their Nordic neighbours in terms of the kudos of its major jazz festivals, but Estonia's Jazzkaar is undoubtedly the exception.
