Abbey Lincoln

Jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln's 1959 album Abbey Is Blue, on which she was supported by the illustrious likes of her then-husband Max Roach, Stanley Turrentine, and Philly Joe Jones, gets a 180-gram vinyl reissue remastered by Kevin Gray.  The album's songs were chosen with social conscience in mind and include such classics as Kurt Weill and Langston Hughes' "Lonely House," Weill and Maxwell Anderson's "Lost in the Stars," and Lincoln's original "Get Up."   High-resolution digital audio will also be available from HD Tracks, Qobuz, and similar services on release day.
