Hey,
I'm back from my cruise ship gig. I have now worked with
Charo. I always hoped my life would read like a Hemingway novel.
Looks like I will have to settle for Jackie Collins. Either way, I
had a great time, ate too much, drank to much, etc... I will share
stories at the show...

Speaking of great times, tomorrow is the first Thursday night
edition of the "Undercover" Party. I will be featuring the songs of
the Beatles. I'm surprised it took so long for them to be the
feature. We've done individual Beatles, but never the group. It's
going to be a "really big shoo" with these "4 kids from Liverpool."

Hope you can make it to Mr. Denehey's, Carmine @ 7th Ave,
8:30 PM, downstairs. Thanks for the support.

P.S. I'm doing a private house concert on Valentine's Day with
Christine Lavin and some other great songwriters. It will be a cool
musical date if you're looking for something special to do. It's
kind of an underground thing, so if you would like to go, just email
me and I will forward you details.

Also, I will be doing an 11 PM set (kinda late, but hope some of you
can make it) at my new favorite acoustic venue in the city, Rockwood
Music Hall on Tuesday the 21st.

Sunday Songs: Abbey Lincoln

By -

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
