Lincoln, Abbey

Classic Albums 1957-1961

Anna Marie Wooldridge, known professionally as Abbey Lincoln, was an American jazz vocalist. She was a civil rights activist beginning in the 1960s. Lincoln made a career out of delivering deeply felt presentations of standards, as well as writing and singing her own material. This 3CD set features the finest music Abbey Lincoln ever recorded, featuring as it does the absolute cream of her music from the golden years of her career. A true pioneer, Abbey always worked with the finest musicians and while not a household name, this new compilation serves equally as a perfect starting point for those new to the ladys music and a fine reminder for everyone else.
