| Abbey Lincoln - Straight Ahead (Re-Issue Of The Year!) |
| |
| This CANDID classic, recorded in 1960, has been digitally |
| re-mastered for CD and is re-released in conjunction with Miss |
| LincolnÆs European tour. |
| |
| Abbey hails from Chicago and first came into the public eye in the |
| mid-fifties when she started working the night club circuit; in |
| 1956 she recorded with Benny Carter and sang in the æ57 film The |
| Girl CanÆt Help It. Later that year came the first of her three |
| Riverside albums. ThatÆs Him had Max Roach on drums and Max was to |
| have a profound influence on Ms. Lincoln not only musically but |
| also with their joint involvement in black activism. She began to |
| change direction and whilst retaining her Billie Holiday |
| influences, began to give full expression to developing emotional |
| intensity in her vocal interpretations. |
| |
| In the early sixties Abbey was totally at ease in the company of |
| her peers such as Sonny Rollins, Benny Golson , Wynton Kelly, |
| Curtis Fuller and of course Max Roach. She made telling |
| contributions to MaxÆs Freedom Now Suite and his Percussion Bitter |
| Suite on Impulse. |
| |
| Abbey and Max were married in 1962, a union that lasted some eight |
| years, with Abbey drifting away from jazz into acting and she did |
| not go into the studios at all in the period 1962-1972. |
| |
| However, Abbey remained deeply committed to her roots and |
| eventually her career was resuscitated in the 90Æs. She was signed |
| to Verve and several fine albums have ensued-notably The World is |
| Falling Down. STRAIGHT AHEAD remains one of Abbey LincolnÆs |
| greatest recordings. It is a remarkable testimony to her heartfelt |
| musical values that this star studded album remains high on every |
| critics list of landmark albums. |

| |
| Recorded at Nola Penthouse Studios, New York, New York on February |
| 22, 1961. Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff. STRAIGHT AHEAD was |
| recorded in 1961 and was Abbey Lincoln's fifth album in as many |
| years. Though she was only 31 when this set was recorded, Lincoln |
| already possessed great confidence and a powerfully emotive voice. |
| She's surrounded by a superlative cast of players, including Max |
| Roach, Eric Dolphy, Coleman Hawkins, Booker Little, Mal Waldron, |
| and Julian Priester. As Lincoln shifts from playfulness to |
| melancholy, and anger to romance, the band is right with her. The |
| rhythmic support is supple and the soloing is full of emotional |
| resonance and invention, free of needless filigree. One highlight |
| takes place in "When Malindy Sings" (a song based on a poem by |
| Paul Laurence Dunbar), as Dolphy's flute flies in after the |
| conclusion of Little's trumpet solo. Though Abbey Lincoln's entire |
| catalog is particularly strong, this album deserves special |
| attention. |
