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.
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.
Last night listening to Cassandra Wilson sing Wichita Lineman that single devastating couplet - And I need you more than want you/And I want you for all time - conjured up an individual's entire life story.
Looking at ease and sounding even more so Wilson wafted resonantly through two decades of her repertoire with a congenial quintet including her alter ego guitarist Brandon Ross and the expressive Swiss harmonica player Gregoire Maret.
