Affair - Abbey Lincoln

LP Abbey Lincoln s Affair.a Story of a Girl in Love (Liberty LRP3025) in its entirety, as well as further songs originally issued as Liberty singles. Two tunes Abbey Lincoln performed live on a 1958 TV show have been added as a bonus ( When a Woman Loves a Man appears here on CD for the fi rst time ever). Includes 12-page booklet Recently deceased on August 14, 2010 at the age of 80, Abbey Lincoln was born Anna Marie Wooldridge on August 6, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois. A famous singer who was highly infl uenced by Billie Holiday, she also wrote and performed her own compositions. The music presented here, however, belongs to the early stages of Abbey s career. This material consists of her fi rst recording session ever (tracks 13-18), taped in Hollywood in July 1956 which produced her fi rst singles , and her second and third sessions, on November 5 & 6 of that same year which yielded her fi rst LP ever, Abbey Lincoln s Affair .A Story of a Girl in Love. The personnel of the orchestras on both sessions is completely unknown. We do know that both bands were conducted by Benny Carter, and that the arrangements were provided by Carter himself, Marty Paich, and tenor saxophonist Jack Montrose, who, as the original liner notes state, was making his fi rst arrangements for a vocalist here. Two rare items from Abbey s discography have been adde: Both Out of the Past and When a Woman Loves a Man were recorded live during Bobby Troup s Stars of Jazz TV Show on July 7, 1958.
