Abbey Lincoln - Straight Ahead - LP

180g Tip-On Jacket, Remastered by Bernie Grundman

Abbey Lincoln's distinctive vocal style, thought-provoking writing, and spirited personality secured her a place among the jazz greats, and 1961's Straight Ahead stands as one of her greatest and most important recordings. Cut for the young, audacious Candid label, it gathers a staggering band including Coleman Hawkins, Eric Dolphy, Booker Little, Mal Waldron, and Max Roach. "I'm not holding back anymore," Lincoln said at the time — "it's a hell of a good feeling to come out into the light." The LP includes Nat Hentoff's original liner notes.
