5 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE
This is one Abbey Licoln's greatest recordings. It is a testament to the credibility of her very honest music (and her talents)that Lincoln's sideman on this date is the immortal tenor saxophonist Colman Hawkins who takes a memorable solo on "Blue Monk", Eric Dolphy on flute and alto, trumpeter Booker Little (whose melancholy tone is very important in the emsembles), pianist Mal Waldron and drummer Max Roach. Highpoints include "When Malindy Sings", "Blue Monk", Billie Holiday's "Left Alone" a nd "African Lady".
