Jazz

A wonderfully moody album from Abbey Lincoln -one that's a bit more laidback than some of her other efforts, but no less soulful! There's kind of a broken, jagged sound to the record, a late nite vibe that's blue and melancholy, and which gets some great support from the tenor sax of Archie Shepp -which often gets a chance to solo on most tracks! The rhythms are gentle, often a bit spare, and handled by Hilton Ruiz on piano, Jack Gregg on bass, and Freddie Waits on drums -and the set also features work from trumpeter Roy Burroughs.

Tracks include three original compositions, "Painted Lady", "Throw It Away", and "Caged Bird", plus a sublime version of Stevie Wonder's "Golden Lady". Also includes Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady", and Michel Legrand's "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life"
