THE ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON IS A LONGPLAY RECORD
TITLE : Straight Ahead
ARTIST : Abbey Lincoln
FORMAT : Long Play Record
LABEL : Barnaby Records
RECORD # : KZ 31037
DATE : Unknown- recorded in 1961
CONDITION (COVER/RECORD): VG/M- (worn edges and corners- timing strip)
NOTES: Reissued several times since it originally came out on a Candid LP, this is one of Abbey Lincoln's greatest recordings. It is a testament to the credibility of her very honest music (and her talents) that Lincoln's sidemen on this date include the immortal tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins (who takes a memorable solo on "Blue Monk"), Eric Dolphy on flute and alto, trumpeter Booker Little (whose melancholy tone is very important in the ensembles), pianist Mal Waldron, and drummer Max Roach. Highpoints include "When Malindy Sings," "Blue Monk," Billie Holiday's "Left Alone," and "African Lady." (AMG)
