Greatly influenced by Billie Holiday, her stock-in-trade was the delivery of heartfelt versions of classic standards, as well as seamlessly interpolating her vocals into extended jazz improvisations. Scott Yanow at allmusic.com calls her 'A dramatic performer whose interpretations were full of truth and insight - she always meant the lyrics she sang'. This 53-track collection features all the titles from albums at the start of her career, 'A Story of A Girl In Love' on Liberty, 'That's Him', 'It's Magic' and 'Abbey Is Blue' on Riverside, 'Straight Ahead' on Candid, and selected titles from the Max Roach albums 'Moon-faced And Starry-eyed', and 'Percussion Bitter Sweet'. It features recordings with some of the noted jazz musicians of the era, including The Benny Carter Orchestra, and in the small groups, Kenny Dorham, Sonny Rollins, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Max Roach, Benny Golson, Philly Joe Jones, Stanley Turrentine, Ray Bryant, Booker Little, Eric Dolphy and others. She was a highly distinctive song stylist and this is an enlightening and enjoyable showcase for an artist who is sometimes referred to as the last of the great jazz singers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eLove Walked In\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Didn't Know About You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWould I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Wake Up Smiling\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThis Can't Be Love\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCrazy He Calls Me\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTwo Cigarettes In The Dark\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Masquerade Is Over\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTake Me In Your Arms\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTogether\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAffair\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eNo More\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eStrong Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHappiness Is A Thing Called Joe\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMy Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTender As A Rose\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThat's Him\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Must Have That Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePorgy\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhen A Woman Loves A Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDon't Explain\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eCan’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Am In Love\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eIt's Magic\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eJust For Me\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAn Occasional Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAin't Nobody's Business\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eOut Of The Past\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMusic, Maestro, Please\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLove\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eExactly Like You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLittle Niles\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAfro-Blue\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLonely House\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLet Up\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThursday's Child\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBrother, Where Are You?\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLaugh, Clown, Laugh\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCome Sunday\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSoftly, As In A Morning Sunrise\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLong As You're Living\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eLost In The Stars\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Concentrate On You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eNever Leave Me\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eStraight Ahead\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhen Malindy Sings\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eIn The Red\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBlue Monk\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLeft Alone\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAfrican Lady\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eRetribution\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eGarvey's Ghost\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMendacity\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrobat\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 03\/06\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046917920\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"TRAPEZE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47201401045241,"sku":"ACTRCD9179","price":16.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/ACTRCD9179.jpg?v=1773241899","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/abbey-lincoln-early-years-the-albums-collection-1957-61-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
