She was raised in rural Michigan and began playing the piano at a very young age. With a career that includes a respected film career and over 50 years of singing, she has emerged as a preeminent woman jazz singer. A living legend, through her determined sense of self and insight she has also become a poet and composer of definitive musical compositions that other singers, including Cassandra Wilson, now record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbbey Lincoln's early influences included Billie Holiday and Lena Horne. Like them, she fought to ensure her beauty did not overshadow her gifts as a singer and musical performer. She recorded her first album, \"Abbey Lincoln's Affair,\" in 1956. After several movie roles, and through her marriage to jazz great Max Roach, she established a strong presence in the New York jazz scene. During the late 1970s and 1980s Abbey was rarely seen or heard in performance. Verve released \"The World Is Falling Down\" in 1990, which helped bring her back to prominence. In 1991, \"You Gotta Pay the Band\" further secured her place as an important, definitive jazz singer and composer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Performance\u003cbr\u003eThis theater performance was taped in 1991 at the Promenade Theater in New York City and had not been seen in its entirety. Presented \"in the round,\" Abbey Lincoln, looking exquisite and backed by a jazz quintet that includes saxophonist Steve Coleman, offers a fresh selection of original compositions including \"Bird Alone\" and \"When I'm Called Home,\" as well as standards such as the poignant \"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?\" It is a memorable evening that highlights her successful comeback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries and Release Details\u003cbr\u003eRegion: 1 · Format: NTSC · Picture: Letterbox · Sound: Dolby 2.0\u003cbr\u003eColor · Running Time: 60 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kultur Video","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51132365930774,"sku":"130172","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026319191950450scan_59665be2-b7a1-4795-bd3f-a6e19618c802.jpg?v=1774390523","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/abbey-lincoln-great-women-singers-of-the-20th-century-2","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
