Abbey Lincoln - Straight Ahead 1961

Straight Ahead 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. High points include "When Malindy Sings," "Blue Monk," Billie Holiday's "Left Alone," and "African Lady." AMG.
