Our Take

Abbey Lincoln's "You Gotta Pay The Band" is a smooth blend of jazz and soul that will leave you feeling like you just got a warm hug from a musical master. From the first notes of the opening track, you can feel the soulful groove seeping into your bones, making you want to sway and snap your fingers along with the music.

Lincoln's vocals are nothing short of mesmerising, with a richness and depth that is at once comforting and powerful. The lyrics are thoughtful and introspective, touching on themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships. The band backing her up is tight and polished, providing the perfect accompaniment to Lincoln's soul-stirring vocals.

Tracks like "Throw It Away" and "When I'm Called Home" are standouts, showcasing Lincoln's incredible range and emotional depth. The album as a whole is a testament to Lincoln's talent and artistry, and serves as a fitting tribute to her legacy in the world of jazz.

In conclusion, "You Gotta Pay The Band" is a must-listen for any fan of jazz or soul music. Abbey Lincoln's talent shines brightly on this album, and her ability to connect with listeners on a deep, emotional level is truly awe-inspiring. So pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and let Abbey Lincoln's music wash over you like a warm summer breeze. Cheers to a true musical legend.

About the artist

Abbey Lincoln

Abbey Lincoln may not be a household name, but in the world of jazz, she's a force to be reckoned with. With a career spanning over five decades, this sultry singer and songwriter has captivated audiences with her soul-stirring vocals and poignant lyrics. Born in Chicago in 1930, Lincoln cut her teeth in the New York jazz scene in the 1950s, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Miles Davis and Max Roach. Her distinctive voice, tinged with a subtle rasp and a hint of melancholy, sets her apart from her contemporaries. Throughout her career, Lincoln has released over 20 albums, each one a masterclass in storytelling and emotional depth. From the smoky balladry of "That's Him" to the fiery soul of "Straight Ahead," she effortlessly navigates a range of musical styles, always staying true to her roots in the blues and gospel. Not content to rest on her laurels, Lincoln has also dabbled in acting, appearing in films such as "Nothing But a Man" and "For Love of Ivy." But it's on the stage, in front of a live audience, where she truly shines. With her commanding presence and electrifying energy, she's a performer who demands attention and respect. So next time you're looking for some soul-stirring, heart-wrenching jazz to soundtrack your late-night musings, look no further than Abbey Lincoln. She may not be topping the charts, but her music is timeless, transcendent, and oh-so-satisfying.
