The Once and Future Singer

By -
Hey,
This week's "Undercover" show features a genre I specialize
in, "Cheesy" '80s Songs. Not much to say about that, except you
haven't really heard "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" until you've heard
my version. Ok, that's not true, but I will be debuting a new song
and we will have a great guest performer visiting from Nashville, Jon
Bozeman. You can check him out at www.jonbozeman.com. He will be
performing "Jenny, (867-5309)" in the spirit of the evening along
with some of his originals. Hope you can make it out to Mr. Denehy's
on Carmine @ 7th Ave, downstairs at 8:30 PM, Thursday.

P.S. I'm playing at the Harrisburg Art Fest this Sunday in PA, in
Frederick, MD on Monday and then I'm doing an all night show uptown
in NYC on Monday June 5th at Prohibition, (503 Columbus Ave.).
Details on that show will be coming next week. Send a friend if you
know anybody in my path. Thanks for the continued support.

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
