Abbey Lincoln - People In Me (1973)

Abbey Lincoln's candid recordings of 1960 and '61, with Max Roach and under her own name, are landmarks of African-American music and social statement. Her recent sessions on Verve are central to defining jazz vocals in the Nineties.In between are precious few recordings, primary among which is this 1973 Tokyo sessions that hitherto was the lost masterpiece of Lincoln's middle period. Recorded June 23, 1973 at Aoyama Victor studio, Tokyo.

The music on this out-of-print LP from the defunct Inner City label was recorded in Japan and has been released by several other record companies since. Abbey Lincoln's first record in a decade, the set features the very original singer joined by a couple of Japanese players (pianist Hiromasa Suzuki and bassist Kunimitsu Inaba) plus drummer Al Foster, percussionist Mtume and the horns (soprano, tenor and flute) of Dave Liebman. Abbey Lincoln wrote or co-composed all eight selections, best-known of which is "People in Me." Every Abbey Lincoln recording is well worth picking up for her sincerity, credibility and talent make each of her dates memorable in their own way.
