Description
Mid-price reissue of this 1987 album by star jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln, paying tribute to Billie Holiday, featuring saxophonist Harold Vick, pianist James Weidman, bassist Tarik Shah and drummer Mark Johnson."Strongly influenced by jazz icons Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong, both of whom she met early in her career, Abbey Lincoln's distinctive vocal style, thought-provoking writing, and spirited personality secured her a place among the jazz luminaries...Lincoln recorded a series of albums for the Riverside label with drummer Max Roach, who had introduced her to the label's owner. Lincoln's collaborations with Roach (to whom she was married from 1962-70) lasted more than a decade, and included the seminal recording, 'We Insist! Freedom Now Suite' in 1960. This was the beginning of a more social and political activist approach to her music.
Over the years, she has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Sonny Rollins, Eric Dolphy, Coleman Hawkins, Miles Davis, Jackie McLean, Clark Terry, and Stan Getz. Lincoln returned to her influences in 1987, recording two albums in tribute to Billie Holiday, and then a series of recordings for Verve throughout the 1990s and 2000s that showcased her writing prowess. Her emotionally honest, mature style was present in every song she sang." - National Endowments for the Arts
