Few singers have this emotional depth and diversity as Abbey Lincoln has. With a voice that is the joys and downs of life, she created a niche in the last 40 years as a singer, songwriter and storyteller. As a singer she avoids self-presentation. From her lyrics she enforces this certain something, which gives her music a special emotionality. She inspired a generation of younger singers such as Cassandra Wilson. This CD is a little documentation of her art.
