	NEA Jazz Masters AbbeyLincoln
		The 10th of 12 children, Abbey Lincoln grew up in a small, rural area marked by its place in history as a stop along the Underground Railroad slavery escape route.
		Abbey Lincoln has long been noted as a spiritual descendent of Billie Holiday, particularly in her ever so slightly behind the beat way of phrasing.
		Among Lincoln's essential contributions to this epic is a raw, howling moment of rage on the piece Tryptich: Prayer/Protest/Peace guaranteed to chill the bones.

	Abbey Lincoln - It's Me - Verve Records
		Abbey Lincoln is one of the most distinctive, individual voices in jazz and perhaps the only living singer who can be rightfully compared to Billie Holiday, so authentic, particular, and soul-penetrating is her delivery of every song she touches.
		Alone among her peers, Lincoln has established herself as a singer/songwriter, with a diverse and compelling songbook which in 2002 was recognized in an extraordinary three-night tribute at New York’s Lincoln Center that covered only a fraction of Lincoln’s songwriting output.
		Lincoln has distilled herself and her art to a fine essence, becoming so uniquely herself that she rings with universal truth.

	Abbey Lincoln - Verve Records
		Lincoln, who turns 70 this year, is one of the last great jazz singers, as well as one of the music's most gifted songwriters.
		Lincoln has made a career out of pursuing her art with integrity and raising the bar on matters of the heart.
		Lincoln also enjoyed a film career in the '60s (including 1964's Nothing But a Man and 1966's For the Love of Ivy, the latter co-starring Sidney Poitier), and it came as quite a surprise to her when in the early '70s she began writing her own songs.

	NYPL, Video Gallery Cataloging Data: Abbey Lincoln
		Born Anna Marie Lincoln, she began experimenting with piano at age 5 and performing in the school and church choir at 6.
		Lincoln's career took off when, in 1956, Bob Russell arranged her first Note recording (Benny Carter/Liberty) and, in 1957, when she began writing her own lyrics and recording with Max Roach.
		Lincoln sees regression and decay in the music industry today and, because of its ethnocentric curricula, is distrustful of higher education.

	BBC - Radio 3 Jazz Profiles - Abbey Lincoln
		She shares Holiday's ability to take liberties with time and with the shape of a melody, and she has the ability to inject the same world-weary timbre into her voice, especially when singing her own politically charged lyrics.
		She began singing and acting under a variety of names - but after settling on Abbey Lincoln in the mid-1950s, she began to make her mark as a highly individual and talented singer.
		Lincoln has a completely original way of delivering a lyric, often chopping up a stanza into short bursts, or parts of a line, and stressing syllables that make more musical than literary sense, but she never loses her ability to pack an emotional punch in her singing.

		Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach were married in 1962, an association that lasted until 1970.
		They worked together for a while but Lincoln (who found it harder to get work in jazz due to the political nature of some of her music) became involved in acting and did not record as a leader during 1962-72.
		In fact, not that the Abbey Lincoln was particularly humorous but there was something special, something unique that brought a smile to my face when I watched this.

		Lincoln knew these legendary women, and learned well from them, but her style is not derivative -- nobody sounds like Abbey Lincoln.
		As Lincoln came of age as a singer, she met such jazz luminaries as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, and others, whose advice and tutelage greatly influenced her.
		On "It's Me," Lincoln composed four songs: "Love is Made," "Chateaux de Joux," "They Call It Jazz," and "Can You Dig It." There's also her lovely rendition of the traditional spiritual of unknown origin, "It's Me, O Lord (Standin' in the Need of Prayer)," to which she's added new lyrics.

		As with her hero Billie Holiday, Abbey Lincoln always means the lyrics she sings.
		Lincoln's first of three albums for Riverside (1957-59) had Max Roach on drums and he was a major influence on her; she began to be choosy about the songs she sang and to give words the proper emotional intensity.
		Lincoln held her own on her early dates with such sidemen as Kenny Dorham, Sonny Rollins, Wynton Kelly, Curtis Fuller and Benny Golson.

	Metroactive Music \| Abbey Lincoln
		Born Anna Marie Wooldridge, Lincoln grew up on a Michigan farm as one of 12 children, yet she was a lonely child who found solace picking out melodies on the family's piano.
		But in the 1960s, Lincoln underwent a personal and professional transformation from svelte supper-club chanteuse to outspoken and politically aware jazz singer and social activist.
		Lincoln did later land several small TV roles, however, and Spike Lee cast her in his 1990 jazz tribute film Mo' Better Blues.

		Abbey Lincoln is the perfect person to pay tribute to Billie Holiday.
		She knew Lady Day during her last years and, like Holiday, Lincoln has always lived the words she sings and chosen to only intepret lyrics that have great meaning to her.
		A dramatic performer whose interpretations are full of truth and insight, Lincoln actually began her career as a fairly lightweight supper-club singer.

	Koranteng's Toli: Vibing with Abbey Lincoln
		So my cousin, Tei, and I were vibing with Abbey Lincoln Saturday night - so blissed out afterwards that the both of us didn't seek out any additional after-midnight New York joints and capped the night with a couple of shwarmas topped with pepper sauce, going out on a high as it were.
		It was a spur of the moment thing, really: heading to the Blue Note in the Village to hear Abbey Lincoln.
		Abbey Lincoln is not that old but she was one of the great jazz voices in the fifties and that says a lot - do the math.

		But many know Abbey Lincoln as a fierce symbol of the nationalism of the sixites and seventies, a serious political musician, one of the first stars to wear African clothing and an Afro.
		But for much of the 1980's, Lincoln was in the shadows, looking inward, taking the stuff of her own life--the loneliness, pain and joy--and turning it into music.
		Lincoln's voice expands and flattens notes, rises, falls, swoops, bakcs off, like an eagle in search of prey (or like a dove bearing an olive branch).

		Abbey Lincoln's idol has always been Billie Holiday.
		Although she has never really copied Lady Day and she has long had her own style and sound, the feeling and intensity that Lincoln gives the lyrics she interprets is reminiscent of late-period Holiday.
		A perfect person to pay tribute to Billie Holiday, Lincoln (on the first of two Enja CDs) is joined by the underrated tenor Harold Vick (who would pass away unexpectedly within a short time after this recording), pianist James Weidman, bassist Tarik Shaha and drummer Mark Johnson for fresh renditions of standards.

		For more than 40 years jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln has been making the world feel better, pursuing her art with uncompromising authenticity and integrity.
		A legend in her own time, a lyricist, a composer and a sublime performer, Lincoln has been setting her own standards over the entire course of her long career.
		A onetime Tony nominee, Calloway's most familiar original tune -- to TV watchers, anyway -- is the theme song from the popular sitcom "The Nanny." But life's not just a cabaret at Scullers, as pianist Brad Mehldau and violinist Regina Carter will demonstrate in high-profile instrumental sets next month (Mehldau, Oct. 6; Carter, Oct. 14-15).
