ABBEY LINCOLN
Straight Ahead
1961 U.S. MONO pressing

My favorite vocal jazz album of all time.
Abbey’s voice cuts me to the absolute core, and this album is perfect for a pensive Friday afternoon spin.

Anna Woolridge (her real name) as an incredible singer, actress and activist. She was married to Max Roach (who drums on this record), and she had a remarkable 60 year career.

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this album.
I was in a record store in NY (probably in the Village) around 2000 or so when I lived there, and the gentleman who owned the store had this playing.

Unfortunately, he wouldn’t sell it to me, and it took a good decade after that for me to finally find a pristine vinyl copy.

If you’re unfamiliar with this beautiful record, please listen to it by any means you can. She’s amazing.

Le Nouveau Jazz by François Tusques Avec Barney Wilen , released on Disques Mouloudji in 1967.

Finders Keepers wrote when they reissued this LP:

With track titles translating to Song For The Devil and The Witches, Francois Tusques’ rarest commercially released LP casts an early stylistic premonition of the vampire themed improvised soundtracks recorded for director Jean Rollin merely months after its release.

Assembling the very same group of musical sorcerers this albums personnel (featuring, amongst others, soprano saxophonist Barney Wilen) reads like a who’s who of France’s early improvised music/free jazz scene resulting in a wholly unique European flavour while preserving the essence of other global inter-communal travellers such as Don Cherry and Krzysztof Komeda.
