Abbey is blue
For many years now, Abbey Lincoln has been recognized as a strong and strong-minded, racially aware and rhythmically secure artist. But early in her career - as a striking-looking young woman making the transition from being a sleek supper-club performer--it was difficult to gain acceptance as a true jazz singer. This seems hard to understand now, listening to her treatments of material by such as Duke Ellington and Kurt Weill, accompanied by a galaxy of players (who always knew her worth) like Max Roach, Wynton Kelly, Cedar Walton, Kenny Dorham, Stanley Turrentine, Sam Jones, and Philly Joe Jones.
With Kenny Dorham, Tommy Turrentine, Julian Priester, Stanley Turrentine, Wynton Kelly, Phil Wright, Cedar Walton, Les Spann, Sam Jones, Bobby Boswell, Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach
It's magic
Abbey Lincoln’s determination to gain deserved recognition as a true jazz singer was first displayed on Riverside with all-star instrumental support on That’s Him! This was here second stride in this direction, less overtly a “blowing” album, but much more carefully constructed. It is equally notable as a demonstration of the respect and affection felt for Abbey by her fellow artists. And just how notable that actually is becomes apparent when you examine the full honor-roll roster of accompanists here: starting with Benny Golson (who comes first because he also provided five firm arrangements), it continues alphabetically with Paul Chambers, Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Philly Joe Jones, Sam Jones, Wynton Kelly, Jerome Richardson, and Sahib Shihab.
With Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Benny Golson, Jerome Richardson, Sahib Shihab, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Sam Jones, Philly Joe Jones
