Abbey Is Blue
Abbey LincolnJEAN-PIERRE LELOIR COLLECTION
DELUXE PACKAGING - Thick cardboard Fold Open Digi-Sleeves
CONTAINS TWO ORIGINAL ALBUMS
"Abbey Is Blue" (Riverside RLP 12-308) was the fourth album by Abbey Lincoln, and directly precedes her more adventurous work with the drummer (and then-husband) Max Roach. With fine accompaniment from trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist Wynton Kelly, Les Spann (doubling on guitar and flute), bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Philly Joe Jones) on seven of the ten numbers, and by Roach’s regular quintet at the time on the other three selections, Lincoln is quite emotional and distinctive. The complete album "Straight Ahead" (Candid CJM8015), on which she shares the bill with such stars as Eric Dolphy, Coleman Hawkins, Booker Little, Mal Waldron, and, again, Max Roach, has been added as a bonus.
