Description
|
|
|
|
Actress/vocalist Abbey Lincoln imbues her singing with meaning as well as melody. In 1960, she spurned her Hollywood sex kitten image to record "We Insist! Freedom Now" with her husband, jazz drummer Max Roach. "Follow her through these three discs and you can't help but note that they mark three phases in a musical life that makes sense now in a way it could not when it was unfolding," writes critic Gary Giddins in this excellent set's liner notes. Songs include "This Can't Be Love," "Don't Explain," "I Must Have That Man," "I Should Care," "Through the Years," "When I'm Called Home," "Avec le temps," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Love Has Gone Away," "Skylark," and many more. "The albums from the late '90s and into this century established Abbey Lincoln as a storyteller in jazz time…. Lincoln's music and her life offers the magic of discovery mixed with the lesson of perseverance."—NPR "Her biting musical and verbal wit have almost always placed her near the margins of mainstream taste…. A perennial cult fave over the decades."—The Nation
